Reddit violates CCPA (www.youtube.com)

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.

The issue there isn't that Reddit stores the edit history (that would be too much storage space), but that it doesn't apply the edit at all and just pretends to if it you recently edited something else. You need to wait after each edit for your next edit to go through.

I had success with this Power Delete Suite fork, which waits for 5 seconds after each edit.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll give it a shot when I have time. (And edit results here if I remember.)
