Flood Reddit with GDPR / CCPA delete requests (kbin.social)

Reddit can restore your deleted posts. However, if people flood them with GDPR / CCPA delete requests, they may become liable for lawsuits if they don't comply.

It sounds like their current policy is to not delete your posts even when deleting your account, but there may be grounds for legal action here.

If you can prove that the data you're asking to have deleted is or contains PII, I'm sure they'll comply to the letter of the law. Outside of that, all content submitted to Reddit belongs to Reddit, Conde Nast, Advance Media, and all subsidiaries.

It doesnt' belong to Reddit. You give them a license (transferrable and non-revocable) to use the content. But in the EU that is superceded by the GDPR.
