I write this because I have several accounts on Reddit and I really want them deleted but I can't delete them now that I'm permanently banned. I can still go into Reddit and browse. How does that even make sense?

If you're a European citizen, nothing Reddit does can remove your right to be forgotten.

If you're a citizen of a lot of other places, your government doesn't enforce that right.

*Citizen within the EU

As a Brit, this distinction is becoming bigger and bigger every day.
