if we want to be more mischievous... https://lemmy.ml/post/1320610

This might be a silly question, because you know, big companies tend to ignore laws, but this cannot be GDPR (or maybe more importantly for this the California equivalent due to jurisdiction) compliant right?

Really? How does that play with jurisdictions that have right to right to be forgotten laws? Seems like a pretty risky play for them to restore deleted posts that were explicitly deleted by its author.

That is exactly why you should always edit your stuff before deleting it. Very few companies ever save more than the last version of your stuff, due to space and performance considerations. That way they can restore whatever they want, it'll simply come out as "x" or whatever you put in there.
