“Removes” or “hides them so that you think they’re gone and won’t try to delete them manually but they’re still keeping them for nefarious reasons that mere mortals cannot fathom”?
Edit: I noticed by sheer coincidence that my reply to the next comment was removed. I SERIOUSLY do not know why. I’m very confused and if I did anything wrong, I’m unable to learn from this without being told what I did wrong.
Nope, they probably can’t. I don’t have any definitive answer, but I’d say yes, though our company doesn’t have any comments / private messages, so I kinda skipped those parts when we were implementing it.
Edit: I recently was playing with embeddings and GPT to feed it some data and I tested it specifically on GDPR, so this is a response from GPT AI that has access to the GDPR document:
Question: Using the right to be forgotten, do companies have to delete also my private messages and comments I made?
Answer: Yes, under the right to erasure or ‘right to be forgotten’, you have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay. This includes any personal data you have made public, such as private messages and comments. The controller is obliged to erase this personal data and should also take reasonable steps to inform other controllers processing the personal data that you have requested the erasure of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

Well, request your data under GDPR and if they’re only hidden, they should still be included: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request

If “socialism” means holding companies accountable for their actions instead of letting them do whatever they want, sign me the fuck up.
I live in the US and was able to request my data just fine. Although I don’t know if the results are any different
