California consumer privacy act requires customer data deletion upon request. That includes user generated content. Just file a CCPA deletion request?

THIS is the way at least people in the EU and California could bring the asshole reddit management to its knees.

Just ab avalanche of private account data deletion under CCPA or GDPR (or ARCO in Mexico yay!) Would make break reddit where it hurts. Most companies are not prepared to automate that.

That would be impactful.

I would be shocked if they were on track for an IPO and don’t have this automated. But I also disagree it would be impactful. Reminds me of the Facebook groups from a dozen years ago: “we will quit Facebook until the old design is brought back.” Guess who won that!
