It's important, this. With rumours of posts being undeleted and the like, it seems that Reddit are fudging their content somewhat. BUT: in theory I expect that the GDPR would protect those covered by it (not me, in the UK, post-Brexit ☹️) from this, and anything deleted must stay that way?
Dunno if there's gonna be more fun on this front in the future.
It's not rumors. I tried it last night and they're trickling back in slowly.
Edit: Looks like it's just from subs that were private and got unprivated. Those comments couldn't be deleted and end "reappearing".
Fair enough. I meant "rumours" in as much as I've not tried it myself yet so am not speaking from experience, rather than people making anything up. I don't doubt they're being shits with our data (likely because they're going to say it's THEIR data as per various clauses in the user agreement etc)
