Another update and possibly a solution for some case where posts were not properly deleted. There is a limitation in Powerdelete. Here is a link to a new version and alternatives:

The restores could also be rollbacks from the server issues or post haven't been properly deleted due to subs being private during blackouts.
Many have experienced the same issue, there is a discussion here on kbin:

I just logged in and checked my reddit account, and all my deleted posts have come back.
Reddit literally refuses to comply with GDPR rules and tonight after work I am going to lodge a formal complain about GDPR violations as I do have proof of this in my emails.
Personally, I’d file the complaint with the Irish government. They seem to have a habit of going after big social media companies like Meta for GDPR violations.
Can a non European make use of this. Or do I have to be in Europe to make and register a complaint. I assume there is nothing I can do here but I might as well ask.
For companies, GDPR applies to people in European Economic Area whose data is used by companies, or companies that have an office in EEA or another stable arrangement in EEA and process personal data of people located anywhere.
I have already sent a GDPR request to Reddit and they refuse to comply.
I asked them to delete everything they have about me, including my account and they told me that I need to login into reddit and ask it from there which:

Fuck Reddit I hope it crashes and burns.
Mm mm sure does smell like EU legal action in here.
On a serious note, that is an absolute new low for Reddit and I’m sorry that you have to deal with it right now.

How much could they get fined for this?
