    It’s important, this. With rumours of posts being undeleted and the like, it seems that Reddit are fudging their content somewhat. BUT: in theory I expect that the GDPR would protect those covered by it (not me, in the UK, post-Brexit ☹️) from this, and anything deleted must stay that way?

    Dunno if there’s gonna be more fun on this front in the future.

      Although we’re no longer under the higher level EU legislation, the entirety of it was incorporated into an updated DPA during the Brexit reconciliation process.

      So you could still go through the same process… and frankly Reddit won’t really know whether they need to act by it so go ahead…

        The last bit is a big one. They have no way of knowing your citizenship. Even if you’ve never logged in with that country’s IP addresses, you could have a dual citizenship or be an expat. How will they know if I claim to be German? Even if they ask for proof, I could send them a driver’s license pic from the Internet with all information redacted for privacy and security reasons.
