It sets a dangerous precent because these tools make it seem like you can remove stuff from the internet for good, when you cannot. They don’t do anything for services that crawl reddit and archive all your posts.
- zzzeek 4y agoso, then "So much useful information has been destroyed" claimed by grandparent post is not actually correct then?
- LegionMammal978 4y agoPlenty of information is archived after being deleted from its original source, it's just common that the particular information you're looking for is not included in any archives at all, much less any archives you can access.
- Klonoar 4y ago>when you cannot It's more of a "you might not be able to". Even with all the archival things that target Reddit currently, plenty of accounts who purge their comments squeeze through just fine. If you post on the internet, yes, you do need to understand it's not sitting in one database table somewhere. It doesn't mean it's futile to try and clean up though.
