This is absolutely insane, and shows that companies OWN you.

    Un-deleting deleted comments is certainly sleazy, but I didn’t realize it was illegal.

      Under the CCPA you own your data. That data should be deleted under request.

      Same thing with the European GPDR

      You can request your data too (like on discord)

          Texas, soon to be the next TERF US State after Florida. Why can’t the Federal Congress do the same California did and stop companies from lobbying?

        Also this guy lives in California and Reddit is based in California sooo… These protections should apply to him

      It depends. If undeleted comments included your personal data, like IP address, home adress or your real name, it certainly is illegal
