The reddit blackout is even more effectivte than expected! 5177/8829 (~60%) of subreddits are still dark [1] and the posts per minute are down to 1000 from 1400 [2].

This is huge. Subreddits were supposed to be back up yesterday. I personally missed Reddit the first day but now I am super comfortable here.

Glad to have found a new place to hang out!

Edit: Reddit has 100k subs, 60% out of those who officially signed up

    GDPR (for EU users) and CCPA (for Californian users) both have the right “to be forgotten”, which means they must delete all your data upon request. Even if they block the third-party bulk deletion sites that use their API, they should still delete all your data upon request, at least if you’re in a jurisdiction with such a requirement.

      It isn’t that powerful. They don’t have to remove comments or posts if they don’t contain any personal data that you can be identified with.

        Don’t they have to delete all “my” data though? I guess I’m not sure of the specific wording of the laws, but at my workplace we delete all data that’s directly related to the user (data they created, plus any other data collected or logged about them), even if it doesn’t contain any personal data. The systems that handle this are super complex so I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of companies don’t handle it well.

          Yeah, but with what they’ve pulled off so far they have been perfectly following the playbook for a “data unlawfully retained” scandal for reddit. Some GDPR fine.

          I guess once tthe account is deleted, there is no more MP, mail and IP associated to this. After that, that will be an reclamation on one post maybe if u have shared personal information or someone else on u. But that will be case per case ? Unfortunately

      CCPA just dis-associates your personal info from your content. Same as deleting your account does. The username goes away but the posts and comments remain. They are not required to delete your data, just anything identifying.
