This is pissing me off to no end. I went on reddit and signed in out of habbit as I have a couple times already and before my account was gone and it wouldnt let me sign in.
Now I did it again and realized that my account actually was undeleted and allowed me to login AND all the posts that I overwrited and deleted with Power Delete Suite where back. I am so pissed right now.
As a US citizen you might not have any recourse. Any EU (+UK) citizens however have the right to be forgotten and when notified, Reddit would have to delete all info on you whilst giving you a copy of it. Failure to do so is illegal. However they could just end up keeping the posts (as long as they don’t have any identifiable information) but just remove the user name after forgetting about you. That can be tricky so most compliant sites and services will just fully delete to make sure.
