Posts and comments are the property of Reddit, not the user.

Perhaps you could actually specifically cite a law and the conduct which you believe violates it.

People responding saying they have to prove damages have no clue what they're talking about. GDPR states, as you say, that they have responsibilities when it comes to your data and the obligation to delete upon request is one of them. At the minimum, for european users they are in violation of GDPR and are opening themselves to massive fines.

Some prior enforcement here, which includes Meta's $400M fine: https://cms.law/en/int/publication/gdpr-enforcement-tracker-report
