Has reddit addressed the forced restoration of deleted comments in interviews? (lemmy.pub)

I have been increasingly having to re-run my purge scripts across multiple accounts, despite not being on reddit for a few weeks now. The longer i wait between logging in and purging comments, the more appear.

And they do appear quasi-random, as if they page/comments get restored when another user pulls/visits an older page.

How does this even square with privacy regulations anyhow. If a user wants to delete their comments, forcibly restoring them against their will is, at best, unseemly.

No they basically said its their data according to the TOS (they actually believe that shit lol) and that they can use jt however they want. So said spez in one of his dumpster fire interviews.
