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.
This is absolutely insane, and shows that companies OWN you.

Un-deleting deleted comments is certainly sleazy, but I didn’t realize it was illegal.
Under the CCPA you own your data. That data should be deleted under request.
Same thing with the European GPDR
You can request your data too (like on discord)
Also this guy lives in California and Reddit is based in California sooo… These protections should apply to him
Something similar passed in Texas recently: https://legiscan.com/TX/bill/HB4/2023
Texas, soon to be the next TERF US State after Florida. Why can’t the Federal Congress do the same California did and stop companies from lobbying?
It depends. If undeleted comments included your personal data, like IP address, home adress or your real name, it certainly is illegal
Is it just me or is there an unethical way to try and entrap reddit here by posting your real name, deleting the post, and seeing what happens?
My name is Giovanni Giorgio.
But everybody calls me Giorgio.
