    Does GDPR cover anonymous data?

    And is reddit history anonymous in a legal sense?

      I’m pretty sure if someone read a bunch of my reddit posts and comments they would be able to locate me, and they would know a lot more about me than some people i speak to for years. I don’t know how it works legally, but morally i think everyone should have the right to purge their online existence.

        You don’t have to guess at it. There are sites out there that you can plug a reddit username in and it’ll spit out super creepy levels of personal information.

        Or, at least they used to exist, but I haven’t looked in like 8 years.

          I’d be curious what a site like that would put together on my accounts. I think it’s a good thing to look at stuff like that every once in a while just so you know what you’re putting out there.
