    • They will tell you you have to delete it yourself.
      Comments are technically not necessarily covered under GDPR after they are decoupled from your account and they have no knowledge that it contains other personal data. (which they do not have to check by themselves, that would be ridiculous anyways)

      So yes, you do need to run PowerDeleteSuite and then delete your account via account settings (which then triggers deletion in accordance of Article 17)

      Read the issues on that git and you’ll see that it only works on comments visible from your profile which has a maximum limit. It doesn’t get everything, because of that profile limit. There is a python script listed in there but it requires an API key.

    They are selling the data soon. Do you really think they haven’t replicated the data to archive storage?

    “But muh gdpr right to delete!” Yeah, they don’t fucking care

    u could also try making small valid changes to detail over time until the posted content is unrecognizable and probably** false.
    eg: i drive a red car
    i drive a blue car
    i drive a blue truck
    i dont drive anything

    those are all possibly true. but alot of them are incorrect.
