Were people under the impression that deleted comments are actually deleted? The second you post a comment, it’s immediately archived indefinitely by Reddit and third party websites. Reddit does not have an option to actually delete stuff, and this is an example that the delete button doesn’t actually delete. There’s also no way to mass delete your comments when you want to delete your account. In fact it’s permabannable for whatever reason. Yes this is a violation of the law and they should absolutely be sued into oblivion for intentionally and actively breaking GDPR, and just being incredibly privacy invasive in general. Not like privacy exists on Reddit though, that’s why profiles are public without any option to hide them.
Fuck Reddit. I hope the company goes out of business.
