  • In the eyes of the GDPR it doesn’t matter, if a user used their right to be forgotten, anything that could be PII or anything they generated has to be either deleted or at least anonymized.

    Now since we’re talking about reddit posts here, there’s a non-zero chance that at last one if not more of the users posted something about themselves that can be used to identify them in a post. So detaching the user from the post doesn’t satisfy the laws.

    So with that out of the way, we can conclude that the posts themselves most likely contain some PII.

    You’d have to delete/scrub the posts, the logs, the caches, including on any CDNs.

    Obviously either they aren’t scrubbing everything, which I would agree that could happen… I doubt it because of reddits size. I could understand and excuse some tiny company with a few engineers, or a new company… but not a decade plus old company worth billions.

    So i think it’s mighty forgiving to say that they did it by accident. I also think it’s not ok to say that reddit did it on purpose either.

    I’ve got a feeling that they half did the GDPR tasks… And thought “ehh nobody will notice” or “will make a new improvement epic for this” and never did.


  • You’re correct, but the two groups that are anti nuclear are Boomers and The Greens parties.

    Boomers are easy, they grew up with a few nuclear incidents, including reactor issues as well as the USSR stuff.

    The Greens is paradoxal, youd think they were pronuclear, at least in the interrum. But they are anti nuclear because of a variety of reasons. So you see situations like in Germany recently where the Greens forced the government to get rid of nuclear reactors, and in their place, comes more Gas reactors… Greens want 100% renewable, but don’t seem to understand that they should be fighting for 0% fossil first … then when that’s obtained go for 100% renewables.

    Because every time you remove a nuclear reactor, the only firm power replacement is a fossil fuel reactor.

    I say this as a lifelong Greens voter, my political party have a small, and vocal group of idiots.

    (In case you’re wondering, yes the anti nuclear Greens are usually boomers)
