A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

Can't believe it. They're becoming real motherfuckers right now. They seem hell bent on getting that IPO.

Someone would have to look at the terms and conditions. It's possible there's a clause like "anything you write is ours" in legal speak.

Wouldn't matter to GDPR, people have sued over much less, right to be forgotten is a thing, and you don't need a lawyer to do it. Could be worth everyone sending in a request to inundate them and they'll have to sift through them to follow the law correctly. Once received, any valid and legal request must be actioned within 60 days, and most companies take 15-30 just figuring out how to do so. We don't have to flood their legal department much to make them lose track of something, and if any of you are EU citizens, your request must be honored.

I'm not, so I guess all I can do is wish you good luck! I hope un-deleting comments does not just happen like that without repercussions.

How can i request the complete deletion of my data under eu law?

That would break GDPR and they could have a class suit on their hands, ToS can't override laws.
