Having worked at a company that had a massive influx of GDPR requests we weren’t prepared for, this one could actually cause them some trouble if Reddit don’t have that process properly automated.

They do not have it automated. I put in a request 2 weeks ago and still haven’t heard back.

When can you complain about the slow response?

[–] Difficult_Bit_1339@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would not at all be surprised if the GDPR dictates a set time period to respond backed up by fines.

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 58 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the GDPR gives them 30 days to honor your request I think?

[–] dan@lemm.ee 53 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah it’s 30 days, though they can push it up to 90 if they have a good reason. They have to inform you of that though.

[–] President_Pyrus@feddit.dk 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And to be fair, a large influx of data requests is probably considered a good reason.

[–] havilland@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

They still have to comply within the 90 day period. If they can’t comply in that timeframe a warning or a fine could be issued.

[–] jarfil@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

You can also request it again every 30 days... just saying.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Expect the new Reddit automated response to data requests to push it to 90 days then.

[–] SomeoneElse@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

They have 30 days I believe.

Yeah same. They might be holding back until the last minute deliberately in some 4D chess move, but like you I think it’s more likely some poor soul is preparing them manually.

[–] pterodactyl@kbin.social 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think they want that, they have a month before they have to come back with something or you can escalate it to a supervising body. Imagine getting taken to court because redditors flooded your GDPR response process

[–] catastrophicblues@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Idk, Mr. Inspired-by-Musk might not know or care.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddit has not made a single 1D chess move this entire debacle, theyre defiinitely not that intelligent.

[–] Shinhoshi@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago

Wouldn’t both kings (along with every other chess piece in play) have to be in the same line in 1D chess? That arguably makes things worse…

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

That mandatory overtime.
