Isn't this bypassed by clicking "More info" and the "Run" button appears?

Oh, so we all got the same bs copy pasted response at the same time? Mine took over a month, so I’m referring it to ICO.

Reddit's Privacy Policy and User Agreement apply to you either way, so I'd assume you'd be able to make a request based on that. Due to the EU's GDPR regulations, most companies make their policies GDPR-compliant, meaning fewer variations, less work, and better consumer protections.

My car has this, but a rental car I’ve recently didn’t. It was fun pulling up to the gas pump having no idea what side the tank was on and noticing there wasn’t any arrows.

My last android phone was the Xiaomi Mi A1, supposed to 3 years support under Android One. The updates were delayed and it was a very bad experience overall, imo.

This is what made me leave android for iOS, just tired of having to change phones every 1-2 years and having several issues like the above.

Vote in what exactly? I’m lost.

Surely this is wrong? If the content I posted is not deleted and it still shows as being made from my account, it traces back to me, so it should be deleted if I requested so. In addition to this, would you apply the same logic to private messages? With or without your name or username, if you send a message to someone and cancel or delete it, no one should be able to recover it unless you consent to it.

Let's go more in depth now. According to the UK's Data Protection Act 2018 (GDPR) and EU's Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation):

Examples of Personal Data (excluding the most obvious ones): (here and here)

  • race
  • ethnic background
  • political opinions
  • religious beliefs
  • trade union membership
  • genetics
  • biometrics (where used for identification)
  • health
  • sex life or orientation

Processing Meaning: (here)

Processing covers a wide range of operations performed on personal data, including by manual or automated means. It includes the collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data.

Examples of processing include:

posting/putting a photo of a person on a website;

With this in mind, you can no longer only be identified by your username (in case it says "Deleted"), you could potentially be identified by your post's content (and post history). If consent is withdrawn and you wish that the company stops processing your data, the company must comply (here).

With the heat Reddit is taking, and probably the wave of complaints that's about to happen, I'm eager to see what's going to be the regulator's response.

Apparently so. It’s impressive how it took them 1 month+ to come up with this from their “Legal Team”.

Anyone else unable to update to 0.19/0.20? I’m on 0.18.2 and the updates aren’t showing.

This, first day was just a quick learning curve. I feel like I can navigate lemmy better now.
Also, lemmy looks more promising in the long run. Let's say spez goes back and even makes the API FOC (impossible). He'll still plan some major bs in the future.
The whole lying and now insinuating users would attack employees over a logo is just too far. He showed no love for the community nor for the contributors of reddit's success.

Unless lemmy is dead, I won't be returning to reddit.\

Thanks, it’ll actually be my first time voting on these elections.

I completely missed that, it might have been the case for that car then.

They'd probably recover the original content, even though it is illegal for them to do so.
Don't worry, their IPO will surely be a success after part of the community leaves + possible GDPR fines.

Maybe !freegames@lemmy.ml

Edit: Better link as per suggested here.

Can someone confirm this is even right? I have friends in the EU with accounts and following me. Not to mention there’s EU companies in there, like the ESA and Ryanair.

TV Time is the best one I've tried so far, apps on iOS and Android + browser access.

Jeremy Clarkson GIF "Oh no! Anyway"

Unfortunately this didn’t work. I can’t use this website until updates are implemented the same way.

Thanks, this actually solved it for me!
Edit: This also brought the "Watch Later" button to the thumbnail instead of hiding it on the 3 dots menu (1 click instead of 2 now!).

In moments like these, I absolutely hate having a Tizen TV, I really need to get a Chromecast or something.

1, 3, and 7 are the best. Did you make them yourself, or are they AI-generated?

I was answering a comment regarding Reddit's ownership of our content and if we're allowed to delete it or not.
From OP:

Reddit can restore your deleted posts.
It sounds like their current policy is to not delete your posts even when deleting your account, but there may be grounds for legal action here.

I'm sure my comments are still well within topic here?
Lil bro tried to read a second time and still failed, please don't try again. 😭😭😭😭\

Personal data only matters from a GDPR point of view. Regarding Reddit's UA and PP, that doesn't have any relevance. They also specifically cover our current problem as an example:

Please note, however, that the posts, comments, and messages you submitted prior to deleting your account will still be visible to others unless you first delete the specific content.


Which is exactly what I (and many other people) did, and yet they've restored our content without our permission. And once again, at least in my case, I only deleted my posts and not my account as of right now. This means every single one of my restored posts has my handle on it, which is personal data.

An individual’s social media ‘handle’ or username, which may seem anonymous or nonsensical, is still sufficient to identify them as it uniquely identifies that individual. The username is personal data if it distinguishes one individual from another regardless of whether it is possible to link the ‘online’ identity with a ‘real world’ named individual.


It really doesn't get any easier to understand, but please make sure to keep glazing spez.
I'm sure he appreciates any support he can get right now.

I’m sorry but that’s not what the User’s agreement and Privacy Policy says. It’s pretty obvious who’s the content’s owner and what rights we have over it. The only way reddit can keep that content is by making a derivate of the content, like stated above. As I can see some of my original posts being recovered after deletion, these are obviously not derivative of anything, they’re the original content.

As of right now, I haven’t deleted my account, so this includes my username. That’s definitely personal data, and as such, they’re not allowed to recover the post without my consent. Maybe the solution to the problem at the moment is to keep an account in order to have more control over our content and make sure stays deleted. In case they change their UA or PP regarding this matter, then we should request the account’s deletion.

Surely you have loads of experience, yet you lack reading capabilities. I suggest you re-read the information above and draw your own conclusions. I won't be discussing this any longer, as you must be clearly trolling or lacking in the reading department.
