Yup. I'm waiting for Reddit to come back with my GDPR data request (which has a time limit of 30 days, after which they can tell their excuses to extend it by another 30 days I believe), and assuming they have not reversed the API decision I'm ordering them to delete it all afterwards. And they even now have a handy list, the one they just gave me, of everything they have to purge - if they didn't, it wouldn't be on that list in the first place :)
Still waiting for the GDPR request i made at the start of this shitshow, will be funny to witness the mass GDPR deletion requests of accounts at the start of July
It's been 3-4 weeks since I submitted my CCPA request, and I still haven't gotten my data yet. CCPA has a time limit of 45 days.
That's what's so awful about this. Prices were announced May 31st, so for a CCPA request that was done that very instant, they can delay until mid July, when the API changes will make it much more difficult to delete your data, and there's no recourse.
Even for GDPR, maybe you'd get it the day before, for the shorter 30 day limit. But a day of a few hours could easily mean you've gone past and API is also a problem for you.
This is some messed up timing, mates.
I would hope that someone reaching out to press from ModCoord would pass these concerns on to journalists. A persistent journalist can uncover the extent of compliance to the GDPR and CCPA through proper questions. "Have you seen an increase in GDPR/CCPA requests wince the controversy started? What percent of those have you completed? What about reports that users are unable to delete their data?" etc. (only better because I'm not a journalist and probably oversimplifying).
Reddit stopped answering requests for comment from objective journalists.
People just need to start filling complains with their Data Protection Authority. Then the mainstream media will be forced to cover the stories to get the clicks.
