This video shows that Reddit refused to delete all comments and posts of its users when they close their account via a CCPA / GDPR request.
This is absolutely insane, and shows that companies OWN you.
How do you know they don’t keep post revisions too? It’s trivial to implement and probably not much more data.
You don’t
That’s my point. I doubt altering comments would have any advantage over deleting them. You just hide what you wrote from other peasants but not from Reddit.
That’s the word on the street from former devs who used to work there. It’s actually a sign of how poor in quality their system is that they don’t have a good way to reverse edits, if still true.
