I have been having to rerun my deletion scripts daily. They are actively restoring comments. Even after writing gibberish and deleting. They are now holding more than 1 backup.
Make a GDPR request to delete your data. Use a VPN to be in Europe, how are they going to know if you are or not a EU citizen? Are they going to risk the GDPR fines assuming you're not a EU Citizen currently traveling in the US?
They definately log IPs. I’ve gotten warnings for voting on a post, switching accounts, and later voting on the same post I stumbled on before. They can probably see that pattern.
Either way it’s fine. I’ll keep running the script. It’s all JavaScript so no api needed. And let them burn compute time on restores.
They log IPs. but your IP has nothing to do with you nationality. And GDPR does't dicriminate wether you're standing in the EU or US but if you're a EU Citizen. If you make a GDPR request, they can A) Ignore it and risk getting a pretty bad fine B) Say "fuck it im not going to risk it" and delete your data. I guess getting on a VPN in the EU might also help the case. I would do it that way because if in 30 days some of my comments are still there, I can report them and they take that shit seriously and the fine is pretty bad.
Thats fair. Im not familiar with GDPR personally. I did see a post earlier where someone reached out about invoking it. They basically said its on you and that you ALSO have to delete your account.
Problem is, when ive wiped it, they have restored it. And if you delete the account you cut your own access. I would guess thats not compliant.
