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.

What I noticed is that when restoring your comments they prioritize the ones with the most upvotes. Some I even deleted manually before the blackout reappeared too.

I find this shit to be likely illegal. I understand that we gave Reddit permission to use our content by agreeing to their terms of service, but if my comment was "A" and I edit it so that it displays "B", it is wrong for Reddit to still display "A" below my username without my authorization. They can exploit the content "A" however they want, but to show it under my username as if it were what I consented to display under my name feels like a breach to me.

I have been overwriting and deleting manually and I haven't seen anything come back yet... But it's also a nightmare to delete old comments that they have archived and don't show up on your profile. I just gave up

It is illegal under the EU law.
