Admins restoring removed posts and blocking mod's ability to see them.
Admins restoring removed posts and blocking mod's ability to see them.
Hi all, just logged in with an alt and noticed that all of the posts I had removed from my subreddit were restored. To the two existing mods, they all appeared removed. We had to add a third mod to re-remove the posts.
So there is some admin fuckery afoot. Protect your work and your reputation.
That’s not going to go over well in jurisdictions with “Right to Forget” laws.
They seem to already ignore the GDPR delete laws.

I received a response from Reddit pretty quickly after submitting it. The response told me that I must delete all of the posts and comments beforehand. I'm pretty sure this is in violation of both GDPR/CCPA as it might be physically impossible for a user to delete, say, one million comments. Of course, this ignores the fact that Reddit already restored all of the data that I've deleted.

So far ignoring GDPR wasn't a winning move for any company that did that...
And then, what do they want Reddit to be from now? Any new comments, threads, subs won't be there in the future if active users go out, I can't understand them.
