Does Reddit owe them anything?
Didn’t think so.
- AlexandrB 3y agoPeople delete posts for all kinds of reasons - including accidentally violating NDA, or posting NSFW pics you no longer want "out there". Undeleting this stuff is opening Pandora's Box.
- xwdv 3y agoIt’s naive to think deleting solves the problem. Once you post something on the internet, it’s out there forever potentially. Someone could easily saved whatever you posted, even if it’s under NDA or it’s a NSFW pic.
- AlexandrB 3y agoThis is technically true, but then why does any website bother with content moderation? It's one thing for something to be archived on a hard drive somewhere and another for it to be google-searchable.
- xwdv 3y agoIt is done as a courtesy to users to improve their engagement with the site. But the site is under no obligation to keep your deleted content deleted.
- buildbot 3y agoIn some jurisdictions, maybe, but probably not the EU or California.
- xwdv 3y agoYou must mail in copies of two forms of identification proving EU and California citizenship.
- buildbot 3y agoThat’s probably not complaint with GDPR…
- xwdv 3y agoCan’t just claim you’re a citizen of the EU. Need to prove it.
- buildbot 3y agoThis is factually incorrect. https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/32836/do-i-have-to-provide-proof-of-citizenship-gdpr https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/32836/do-i-have-to-p...
- xwdv 3y agoIt says in the answer right there, the company must either be in the EU or you are in the EU. Unfortunately, to protect user privacy we don’t know or store your IP address so you will have to provide some other proof that you are actually in the EU. An IP of course is also easily doubted, you need to provide legal documentation.
