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.

    That would be my suggestion as well. There’s a chance that all reddit users will be part of the class, but there’s also a chance that only users who attempted to delete data or request that data be deleted will be part of the class.

    Attempt to edit and/or delete a few of your comments at the very least and prepare for the class action lawsuit. It’ll probably take a couple years, but there’s no way that some law firm isn’t already looking into it and gearing up to start the process. There’s a particular law firm that I follow that has gotten some really good settlements from social media companies such as this one against facebook. I would believe that if anyone decides to take on a data privacy issue against a large social media company, it would be them.
