Reddit admins can and have modified users' posts/comments in the past, however, the recent reports have mostly been traceable to simple rollbacks and de-privatization of subreddits.

    Not all of them are from that. I have had manually deleted comments pop back up with no changes to the subreddits in question. Whether it's malicious is a different question, of course. I kind of doubt anyone is doing it on purpose. But it does show that deletion on Reddit doesn't work well enough to comply with EU privacy laws, so that's fun.

    Neither EU law, not BR law, not US-CA law. They're in for a rude awakening. Also, PSA, check if your profile has been tampered with in any way, as there has been a Lemmy hack.

    Thanks for the heads-up. Apparently my instance (Lemmy.one) hadn’t implemented the feature that introduced the vulnerability, and my profile looks fine, but I am going to be taking extra precautions for a while.

    And yeah, I think Reddit has been coasting on a combination of user goodwill and a lack of attention to their privacy policies, and now that they’ve burned all the goodwill and shown a variety of weaknesses… I’m looking forward to seeing the lawsuits roll in over the next few years.
