      They really scared about Lemmy? Being so blatant about this shit… I have learned the following:

      • They do not like subreddits going NSFW it makes them no money. I for one welcome all furries and rule 34 artwork to Reddit.

      • They do not like people promoting Lemmy, any kind of competition gets them trying every tactic they can muster, playing all their cards now.

      • They do not like people deleting or removing data from Reddit. You know what would suck? A GDPR deletion request… That would be a real damn shame. No data to sell then lol

            Read the update at the bottom. Reddit doesn’t seem to want to comply with the requests. I guess you could use a deletion script.

              Then they are in breach of GDPR regulations. If they don’t comply I could see some serious fines heading their way

                Wouldn’t they have to have some sort of presence in the EU? If all of their operations are US based (I don’t know if they are or not), can the EU really do anything about it?

                  They serve people in the EU so they absolutely have to comply. If you have EU citizens on your website then EU GDPR regulations apply to you.

                  I have done enough GDPR compliance training to make me want to gouge my own brain out but I guess it came in handy lol
