Of course we may never know for sure, but if you are European, they have to include all data about you in a GDPR data request. Also, I'm not sure if GDPR grants you the right to delete your posts for good?
- voidbert 2y agoI don't know about singular posts, but if you wish to delete your account and all your data, they must comply.
- jsheard 2y agoWhat about the third parties that Reddit has already sold the data to? Does GDPR require Reddit to chase them down and make them delete it as well?
- londons_explore 2y agoyes, and if they cannot, they are violating the GDPR and have to pay fines. This is why datasets are rarely sold as massive CSV's in the modern world - instead companies with data sell access to API's, with the expectation you'll query for what you need in real time.
- londons_explore 2y agoThey only need to delete personally identifying data. That means they could probably just remove the username from your post, but leave the post text there attributed to "anon".
- Izkata 2y agoThey already do this, the username becomes "[deleted]"
- wizzwizz4 2y agoRecital 66's wording ("right to be forgotten") suggests that Article 17 should be understood in this way, but Reddit might claim the 3(d) exception. I don't think that would be valid, but you might have to go to the courts if they do.
