I read The Verge’s latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don’t really care and will probably just use the official app or don’t really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be mostly forgotten about.
What are your thoughts?
Enough for them to refuse to comply with GDPR, restore user content against user’s will and make deleting account hard/impossible. Not to mention bots set up to ban people who wiped their contributions to install second thoughts into anyone who did. They are absolutely affected. Let it motivate you.
Not hard deleting all of a user’s information on request goes against the right to be forgotten AFAIK, I hope the EU screws then
