Reddit violates CCPA (www.youtube.com)

This video shows that Reddit refused to delete all comments and posts of its users when they close their account via a CCPA / GDPR request.

This is absolutely insane, and shows that companies OWN you.

I think the only solution currently is to use something like Redact to mass edit your posts and comments to remove the data that you have input into the site. Reddit lives or dies on the information that users post/comment on it.

Does Reddit save edit history?

Word is that they don't, deletes are soft-deletes but edits aren't so reversible.

In this specific case it looks like it might just be that specific sub being private on the day he deleted, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/99466/Reddit-violates-CCPA#entry-comment-406442

Watching the video i see him deleting from 11 months ago to 12 years ago. But don't see the specific 3 year old posts on r/javascript. Which would be consistent with not being able to see them due to the sub being private.

I was able to delete all my posts/comments without issue (My reddit username is different from this one fyi).

As you stated, the subreddit could gave been private. He also may have been viewing a stale cache.
