👿 Update: about #Reddit is restoring deleted and overwritten posts.
As some have pointed out: the restores could have been rollbacks from the server issues or post haven't been properly deleted due to subs being private during blackouts. Thanks for commenting - I didn't want to jump to conclusions and I can't explain what exactly is going on.

Ah, thank you. I didn’t realise the definition covered so much but it makes sense especially with how the data could be used in conjunction with other identifying data. I should obviously brush up on my understanding of GDPR!

Yes, definition of personal data from GDPR:

Folks in the EU should file a GDPR complaint against reddit for every deleted post restored.
I bet someone could script that and share the code…
