I do not live in California or the EU. What can I do?
Why would they need your permission? They own the content you posted to their website.
I’d say just ignore it and move on. It’s over. Focus on what what matters.
I don’t think that would hold up in court.
From what i remember, the Reddit TOS says that your content is your content.
And rightfully so, or else they’d be responsible for everything that everyone posts as if they posted it themselves.
You only give them the license to publish your posts, but if a user edits or deletes their content, i don’t think they’d have a legal right to undelete and post and repiblishing it without you agreeing to it (again).
Are you taking them to court?
If they want to adhere to EU laws I think they might have to, might still fuck over people from other places though.
The content is fine, but anything associated with them that can be deemed as identifiable needs to go if OP requests the right to be forgotten. Most services will just “censor” the username by replacing it with “deleted” or something. They don’t have to get rid of everything else.
What if a comment itself includes some kind of personal data such as a link that explicitly ties the comment to a person?
Don’t post shit that can be linked to you easily.
People have some weird expectation from a shiti online business. Take of your shit, you can’t rely on the counterparties to protect you.
Originally I didn’t mind tying the comment to my identity, but once I decide to delete my account, I want all such ties gone. Case in point: links to open-source projects with my name in them.
“You shouldn’t have posted it in the first place” is just victim blaming.
Yup - I pretty much said this was one of the things that could’ve happened to people who were adamant about deleting their comments.
To OP: thinking since there’s no GDPR compliance for the US, I wouldn’t be surprised Reddit was able to go “uhhhh” and do this anyways. If you were a citizen in the EU, then something could probably be done, but otherwise I wouldn’t be super optimisitic.
it’s just cached content from the many servers, they got overwhelmed by the too many delete requests, run again the powerdeletesuite. Also, if while you used powerdeletesuite a subreddit was private, it wouldn’t be able to detect and delete that post or comment
Also, if you were a frequent poster, your profile doesn’t actually have everything you’ve ever posted. So if you used RES to mass delete, it would have missed stuff.
Edit your content and make it gibberish
Mass edit all your comments, wait a week, then delete them again.
Just start going through your old top comments and replace it with a bunch of racist or very obsene shit. Its already a top comment and its old so likely nobody will see
Doesn’t prevent them from rolling the comments back to the pre vandalized state and only really serves to attack innocent unrelated third parties with whatever psychic damage you decided to put out into the world.
If they still have the database the way they originally designed it, they only keep the prior version. That’s why people kept saying to over-write your old comment and then delete it.
Not really related to your post, just me being nosey: When I go to your account page, your most recent comment was “[ Removed by Reddit ]”. What had you posted?
Hahaha, that’s probably the only post he wanted to stay up. Reddit chose otherwise.
What can I do?
Move on with your life already, for one.
None of that matters.
