Attached: 2 images 👿 PSA: #Reddit is restoring deleted and overwritten posts to save what they consider "their data". This is a new low and probably illegal at least in Europe. You can send a GDPR or CPRA request here: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request These are screenshots of my profile on June 14th before and after overwriting and then deleting all my posts with Powerdelete. Today, June 16th all my posts have been restored by Reddit without my knowledge or consent. #redditblackout #redditmigration #kbin #lemmy

I just logged in and checked my reddit account, and all my deleted posts have come back.

    WTF!!! Thx for raising awareness. This is crossing a line.
    I guess next step would be not to delete posts but to edit them.

      Another user said they restore edited content too. They blanket restore anyone’s content which looks like it’s deleted by a script.

      I can’t go on and manually delete twelve years of comments, I don’t think anyone can.

      This will only be resolved if enough people take them to court and reddit is forced to add a complete data deletion option for all users.

        That’s low. I wouldn’t put it past them, but I want to see proof before commenting on this.
