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.
I wonder at what point people start taking them to court. It seems like the usual idiot tech bro excuse of thinking terms of service/use somehow override the law which is hilariously naive.
You cannot override the law in a TOS.
Like if they wrote down that they were allowed to murder you written into their TOS and proceeded to murder you they’d still go to jail for murder.
Username’s research checks out.
(Sorry, I know people are kind of sick of funny tropes that were common on Reddit, but I couldn’t resist. I"ll see myself out now…)
