If this checks out, they may be in disrespect of a bunch of privacy laws including GDPR.

Damn with screenshots and everything. Reddit might be screwd

And you really don't want to screw around with GDPR:

  1. Non-compliance with an order by the supervisory authority as referred to in Article 58(2) shall, in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article, be subject to administrative fines up to 20 000 000 EUR, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 4 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher.

4% feels really low, I wish the EU set it to like 25%

Now, that depends. Does the GPDR require a formal process to request to be deleted? They could claim that any activity that doesn't come in through that formal process doesn't count.

Sounds like all you EU Redditors that had your comments restored need to use that account deletion page.
