Greed.

The answer is always Greed.

What profit is my government(Greek) going to have by doing this? Nothing, so obviously it’s not gonna be done.

If everything is because of profit, then nothing works.

Not in this day and age where me and my grandma have our own.

There are so many, you can’t keep up to date with your hobbies unless you are willing to follow 50 platforms with 60 different UIs and community rules.

I prefer the aggregation of data like fediverse where we can follow topics and not platforms.

But even the catalogue of less severe violations in Art. 83(4) GDPR sets forth fines of up to 10 million euros, or, in the case of an undertaking, up to 2% of its entire global turnover of the preceding fiscal year, whichever is higher.

The controller should use all reasonable measures to verify the identity of a data subject

Huge emphasis on reasonable. If by asking me to log in for the sake of verification results in me not being able to delete my data as I’ve demonstrated above, then this is 100% NOT REASONABLE.

They are actively hindering the process that GDPR requires me to take.

I don’t care about the small letters, this is a GDPR violation. I should have an easy way to delete my data and this ain’t it.

GDPR applies to people in European Economic Area whose data is used by companies,

I am in Greece. I am protected by GDPR.

I have already sent a GDPR request to Reddit and they refuse to comply.

I asked them to delete everything they have about me, including my account and they told me that I need to login into reddit and ask it from there which:

1. I don’t have to since GDPR says that I can even do it verbally and I don’t even have to write to a specific email, I can just let any employee of that company that I want this and they should honor it.
2. They straight up don’t even have the option to delete your data there, since I requested for the complete erasure of my data as that is also in my rights.

Reddit literally refuses to comply with GDPR rules and tonight after work I am going to lodge a formal complain about GDPR violations as I do have proof of this in my emails.

Fuck Reddit I hope it crashes and burns.

It’s also the reason I don’t play No Man’s Sky(apart from the bait and switch launch).

People don’t play Bethesda games because they are good sims but because they are good RPGs.

If they pivot to a sim/building type game then I don’t think people will like it.

This comment is incorrect as well.

The people that cared left and what’s left behind is people that wouldn’t leave anyway and the strike only bothers them.

This person is living in a bubble and can’t see further than their nose.

Yeah. This is kinda gaslighting:

We’ve also seen a rise in anti-China posts that have hit Reddit lately, and along with that comes anti-chinese racism,

No. Anti-china posts are not racist. We all hate Hitler Germany. Does that mean we are racist against Germans?

This sentence is fundamentaly flawed and shouldn’t exist in the documentation.
