If reddit banned you permanently, do you still have the right to be forgotten?
If reddit banned you permanently, do you still have the right to be forgotten?
I write this because I have several accounts on Reddit and I really want them deleted but I can't delete them now that I'm permanently banned. I can still go into Reddit and browse. How does that even make sense?
If you're a European citizen, nothing Reddit does can remove your right to be forgotten.
If you're a citizen of a lot of other places, your government doesn't enforce that right.
*Citizen within the EU
As a Brit, this distinction is becoming bigger and bigger every day.
Good point.
Permanently Deleted
Ah I need to do this too , they banned my account few years back !
It depends on where you live but you can petition the site to delete the accounts for you providing you can prove they are yours
Deleting the accounts doesn’t remove the posts fyi, Reddit relies on the content you created for them
OP says they want their accounts deleted...
But the comments will stay up, they just won’t have your username on them anymore
Your best bet is probably contacting them. This can be done on this support page. Select 'Inquiries Related to Your Privacy Rights' and then under 'What do you need assistsce with?', go with 'Request account deletion/deactivation'. Hope this helps!
I asked for my data to run shreddit on everything several months back and they never got back to me (I'm ip banned). I think I'll send an email to their legal contact
How does this work? How is it not possible to delete the other accounts? If it's an IP ban, can't you circumvent that and log in to the others and delete them?
Have you tried using Redact? I just nuked my account and posts with no issue. My account was not banned, however. I like the feature that allows one to edit all comments and posts rather than just delete them. I replaced everything with a heartfelt message for u/spez...
