The problem here is they’re arguing that reddit restoring all their comments means reddit is breaking the law. Technically, they’re only breaking it when comments include Personally Identifying Information (PII).
Any comments that don’t include PII they’re technically safe to restore. Arguably, reddit is not doing it’s due diligence in ensuring they’re not restoring comments with PII, but that’s a different ball-game than “restoring every comment is breaking the law.” No, only specific comments which include PII can be argued to be breaking this law, and you’d still have to take them to court over it.
