Reddit undeleting comments and hiding them
Reddit undeleting comments and hiding them
I came across today one of my own comments on Reddit with a search on duckduckgo. It was still intact. The problem is I used shreddit to randomise and delete the entire contents of my account. My account comments and posts all show empty on my account pages on reddit so there should be nothing.
I did a site:reddit.com search using my username and found ~50 comments that Reddit has undeleted but also hide from my own account. I could still edit and delete them. Its curious that they don't appear on my accounts content on Reddit and yet a search engine can find them and they are still served by Reddit. Ex Reddit users who deleted their account contents should be aware this is happening and report it as a GDPR breach to their respective agencies if they are in the EU if they too find this has occurred.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Yes strong protection will make me cry so hard.
If my reddit comments are helping troubleshoot something technical and unrelated to me, that still isn't personal data. Valuable comments will be available on reddit and generating them traffic from Google searches regardless of how much people here scream about GDPR.
In other words, you didn't read the links. Here is another one from actual lawyers who actually know the law and do actually prosecute for it:

I'm sorry, but outside of the US, you don't get a free pass to be shitty. It will still require money and effort to bring to court, however.
Not American. You misunderstand the concept of "personal".
Edit: also it doesn't really matter if you are in the US (or where you are at all). If you deal with European customers (their data) you have to obey GDPR. That's why some sites have opted to simply block European visitors.
Tell your people/alts to distribute their downvotes further up the branch, they look as ridiculous as your inability to understand evidence even when directly presented with it. It's sort of funny to not even have them show up on kbin, I imagine it might be some misguided attempt at obfuscating, although the positive upvotes from accounts with zero comments or activity in old deep threaded content tell me enough. Man I love the transparency in contrast to reddit 😀
Whatever makes you feel better. Keep screaming GDPR at everything...
Hey, at least I don't need fake alts, comes with being right.
