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.

    They are supposed to verify that the person requesting deletion or another right under GDPR is the same as the person whose data it is, or that at least the requester is authorized to act for the person whose data it is.

      The controller should use all reasonable measures to verify the identity of a data subject

      Huge emphasis on reasonable. If by asking me to log in for the sake of verification results in me not being able to delete my data as I’ve demonstrated above, then this is 100% NOT REASONABLE.

      They are actively hindering the process that GDPR requires me to take.

      I don’t care about the small letters, this is a GDPR violation. I should have an easy way to delete my data and this ain’t it.
