Having worked at a company that had a massive influx of GDPR requests we weren’t prepared for, this one could actually cause them some trouble if Reddit don’t have that process properly automated.

    Also if you’re feeling extra cantankerous you could try emailing them directly: redditdatarequests@reddit.com

    Even though they say you have to use their form, they can’t actually force you to do that: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/individual-rights/right-of-access/how-do-we-recognise-a-subject-access-request-sar/#requirements

      You can also mail them a letter requesting your data and they have to honor it 🤣

        Haha that’s worth a go - there is basically zero chance of them responding to that properly.

        Wow can you imagine how much carnage a letter based subject access request onslaught could be? There’s basically no way around employing people to open letters and then do a bunch of data entry just so they can email you and say “hey fill in this form”.

        Edit: Could they even email you? Would they have to respond by post?
