    I heard on discord that apparently reddit has like 1 guy handling all the GDPR requests and that they are swamped right now. If it’s true it might be a while. I also heard on r/privacy that reddit was putting old deleted posts back online, so deleting your account isn’t a very reliable option it seems.

      That seems like a massive GDPR violation of its true. I’m sure there are some class action lawyers out there who’s love to know if this is true…

        Supposedly they have 30 days to comply with GDPR requests, and the theory is they’re waiting until 1 July such that people can no longer use the GDPR files with things like shreddit to edit/delete everything through the API.

          I wasn’t referring to the lack of response. But undeleting posts by a user who deleted their account seems like a data retention violation.
