  • I was answering a comment regarding Reddit’s ownership of our content and if we’re allowed to delete it or not.
    From OP:

    Reddit can restore your deleted posts.
    It sounds like their current policy is to not delete your posts even when deleting your account, but there may be grounds for legal action here.

    I’m sure my comments are still well within topic here?
    Lil bro tried to read a second time and still failed, please don’t try again. 😭😭😭😭\



  • Personal data only matters from a GDPR point of view. Regarding Reddit’s UA and PP, that doesn’t have any relevance. They also specifically cover our current problem as an example:

    Please note, however, that the posts, comments, and messages you submitted prior to deleting your account will still be visible to others unless you first delete the specific content.


    Which is exactly what I (and many other people) did, and yet they’ve restored our content without our permission. And once again, at least in my case, I only deleted my posts and not my account as of right now. This means every single one of my restored posts has my handle on it, which is personal data.

    An individual’s social media ‘handle’ or username, which may seem anonymous or nonsensical, is still sufficient to identify them as it uniquely identifies that individual. The username is personal data if it distinguishes one individual from another regardless of whether it is possible to link the ‘online’ identity with a ‘real world’ named individual.


    It really doesn’t get any easier to understand, but please make sure to keep glazing spez.
    I’m sure he appreciates any support he can get right now.


  • I’m sorry but that’s not what the User’s agreement and Privacy Policy says. It’s pretty obvious who’s the content’s owner and what rights we have over it. The only way reddit can keep that content is by making a derivate of the content, like stated above. As I can see some of my original posts being recovered after deletion, these are obviously not derivative of anything, they’re the original content.

    As of right now, I haven’t deleted my account, so this includes my username. That’s definitely personal data, and as such, they’re not allowed to recover the post without my consent. Maybe the solution to the problem at the moment is to keep an account in order to have more control over our content and make sure stays deleted. In case they change their UA or PP regarding this matter, then we should request the account’s deletion.
