    It would leave them open to potentially devastating legal consequences if an affected EU citizen can prove in court that reddit makes money of his content, which he deleted. Also the “right to be forgotten” as in the GDPR formulated would be violated.

    IF reddit really goes that way, they’d have to anonymize at least the usernames. Which would make it extremely hard to prove that something is “your content” and not someone elses.
