A group of filmmakers wants Reddit to disclose the identities of several users who made piracy-related comments. Reddit objects, citing its users' right to anonymous speech.

Are these GDPR requests something you can make outside of Europe? I'd love to try and help confirm it. Definitely not the oldest reddit account out there but I'm around 12 years there. Either way I think Lenny is the way to go. One issue I do with Lemmy though is the issue many subreddits have where they can become echo chambers. Especially with essentially one person having control over a swath of different communities.

I think you'll have to use a VPN to make it look like you're from Europe. Other than that, you should be good.

I gave it a try yesterday and it let me submit the request from Canada. No idea if they will come back in a month and say "Only Europe sorry"

In that case, good luck. And keep us updated.

Thanks :). Not sure I'll remember to do the update as their page says it can take up to 30 days to get the results. But I am definitely curious to see what kind of data they have logged on me over the decade (plus a bit) that I have had my account on reddit.
