Reddit violates CCPA (www.youtube.com)

This video shows that Reddit refused to delete all comments and posts of its users when they close their account via a CCPA / GDPR request.

This is absolutely insane, and shows that companies OWN you.

Not only do they refuse to delete your comments, they do it in such an underhanded way - quietly restoring everything after showing the user that the deletion was successful. For me personally, this is even worse than the whole killing 3rd party apps thing.

Ah, well, that's what they are used to. All that obscurity in recommendations, weird way comment scores change over time (bots they don't fight or their own messing), weird way those affect karma, inconsistent application of rules, and so on.

Social media mods like obscurity which is alone a sufficient reason not to use that crap.
