A few days ago I deleted all of my posts and comments from reddit, but today they somehow reappeared.

I don’t know if that’s a bug or the admins themselves are restoring content, but I’m sure they’d have incentives to do so considering that they make money from your content, whether that is from generated clicks to the website or from selling those data to other companies to train AI models.

    That’s true, but that’s not how Reddit sees it. Reddit says they have a “legitimate interest” in keeping your posts around, no matter what those posts say. They say that just removing the username is enough.

    Again, I can’t speak to whether that’ll hold up in court, but that’s what Reddit is saying.
