I heard on discord that apparently reddit has like 1 guy handling all the GDPR requests and that they are swamped right now. If it’s true it might be a while. I also heard on r/privacy that reddit was putting old deleted posts back online, so deleting your account isn’t a very reliable option it seems.
Supposedly they have 30 days to comply with GDPR requests, and the theory is they’re waiting until 1 July such that people can no longer use the GDPR files with things like shreddit to edit/delete everything through the API.
I’m in the process of doing that right now, it’s been a few days since I asked for the data request, they’re yet to get back to me.
Edit: almost 2 weeks later and nothing! Edit numero dos: July 3rd, finally received my data.

That seems like a massive GDPR violation of its true. I’m sure there are some class action lawyers out there who’s love to know if this is true…

I wasn’t referring to the lack of response. But undeleting posts by a user who deleted their account seems like a data retention violation.
mygod what a shitshow
