Again, they didn't even respond to the email.

They also said they'd be active in this subreddit (they aren't), they'd implement GDPR (they didn't) and they'll provide a portal for users to see their data (never happened).

So yes, my experience is that they don't delete PII and don't even respond to requests. Do you have a different experience? Or are you just repeating those announcements that never transpired?

I don't recall seeing anything about "implementing GDPR." I'm baffled at your comment about a portal to see your data, because you could just hit the API and see all your data... hell, that's what I used it most for, searching my own stuff to get info or things I had already found before.

This is all a tangent to the false claim you constantly keep repeating: You said their *policy* was not to delete PII. That is a false statement. But you take the other part about only hiding non-PII as gospel, when both statements of policy are literally in the same sentence - you treat the one half you don't like as 100% truth, and you pretend the other half that says they will remove PII doesn't exist.

"So yes, my experience is that they don't delete PII and don't even respond to requests. Do you have a different experience? Or are you just repeating those announcements that never transpired?"

You didn't actually answer the question:

I have no idea what you asked to delete - was it actually PII, or random Reddit comments which aren't PII? You very often conflate the two.

I do agree his communication level has always been quite poor. I've made many remarks on it myself in the past.
