Update: As some have pointed out: the restores can be rollbacks from the server issues or post haven’t been properly deleted due to subs being private during blackouts. Many have experienced the same issue, I can’t explain how this happens. I’ll just run the script again, try the GDPR request and delete my account.

Also worth noting: according to the ToS Reddit can actually do whatever they want with existing content, apparently we agreed to this when signing up.

    That’s an excellent idea! EU regulations on the digital rights of users are not to be trifled with, and “the right to be forgotten” is a big one.

        You’re all over this thread saying this, what exactly do you think “right to erasure” means?

        From gdpr.info:

        Since the definition includes “any information,” one must assume that the term “personal data” should be as broadly interpreted as possible.

        Here’s a short list of information thought not to be personal which has later been found personal:

        • Start end/times at work
        • Break times
        • Cultural id markers
        • Written answers to exam questions
        • Mental illness
        • Any physical descriptor
        • online identifiers (ie your reddit username which may be shared with other sites to identify you)
        • and plenty more

        The idea that redditors do not have personal information lingering in their comments is absurd, GDPR 100% applies.
