      I just want to add that as a European citizen you also have a right to get a copy of all your data, and an explanation how and when this data has been used.

      Also, I’m pretty sure that their response “you first have to delete your comments manually” does not comply with EU guidelines.

        Read the update at the bottom. Reddit doesn’t seem to want to comply with the requests. I guess you could use a deletion script.

          Then they are in breach of GDPR regulations. If they don’t comply I could see some serious fines heading their way

            Wouldn’t they have to have some sort of presence in the EU? If all of their operations are US based (I don’t know if they are or not), can the EU really do anything about it?

              They serve people in the EU so they absolutely have to comply. If you have EU citizens on your website then EU GDPR regulations apply to you.

              I have done enough GDPR compliance training to make me want to gouge my own brain out but I guess it came in handy lol
