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.

That's what's so awful about this. Prices were announced May 31st, so for a CCPA request that was done that very instant, they can delay until mid July, when the API changes will make it much more difficult to delete your data, and there's no recourse.

Even for GDPR, maybe you'd get it the day before, for the shorter 30 day limit. But a day of a few hours could easily mean you've gone past and API is also a problem for you.

This is some messed up timing, mates.

I would hope that someone reaching out to press from ModCoord would pass these concerns on to journalists. A persistent journalist can uncover the extent of compliance to the GDPR and CCPA through proper questions. "Have you seen an increase in GDPR/CCPA requests wince the controversy started? What percent of those have you completed? What about reports that users are unable to delete their data?" etc. (only better because I'm not a journalist and probably oversimplifying).

Reddit stopped answering requests for comment from objective journalists.

People just need to start filling complains with their Data Protection Authority. Then the mainstream media will be forced to cover the stories to get the clicks.
