  • I did read it, however the article never really called him out on it.

    I get that journalists shouldn’t express opinions, and this article does manage that at least. However they should at least clearly display contradictions and hypocrisy, such that no reader can walk away without recognising it. This article doesn’t quite meet that bar - someone hooked on this paedophile’s lies could walk away after reading all his quotes and still think he’s fair minded.







  • They won’t necessarily show in the tabs, I only had 2 gilded comments that were missed and shown in the gilded tabs. The rest of the remaining comments were just loose on reddit, and there were a lot of those. Mostly 1 karma comments, but for me comments with 50 karma or less. The main ones I noticed were replies down below old top comments I had made. I opened them before I ran PDS and after completion I refreshed, the top comment was gone but the little replies were still there.

    Even after running PDS, you should still be able to do a GDPR request to see what’s left, so long as you can convince them you’re in the right jurisdiction (maybe a VPN would work).



  • For me it only exported the last set. The first few times it stalled with an error and I had to restart, but it had deleted comments and not given me a CSV of the ones so far.

    In any case, PDS doesn’t get everything, because not everything will be displayed on your profile. PDS goes through your New, Hot, Top & Controversial comments, anything that is not displayed in these lists will be missed. I ran it to completion and it said there was nothing left, but I had a couple gilded comments with <50 karma on the gilded tab that were still there, as well as many comment replies to the Top comments it had wiped.

    The only way to get everything it seems is to do a GDPR request and use the links in the files you get.

    I like to give it slightly wrong answers first, then right answers on the second attempt. Because they’re blatantly using it to train AI (for free, without paying users for their work), I want to poison the data. The first one tells it that it’s guess is wrong, the second one proves I know what I’m talking about - if you do everything wrong it will just discard your training data.




  • I went to a gas station that had facial recognition cameras. They cited theft, but also their “legitimate interest”, using website cookie language - only there was no easily apparent way to object to their legitimate interest.

    What we really need is legislation. The law needs to recognise that businesses cannot just steal data from people for free for their own profits - not to mention exploiting that data against the data subject.

    If you build and sell a car, you have to pay for the nuts and bolts. You can’t just take them and say “well, you wouldn’t know how to build a car, and they only cost a tiny, tiny amount, so we don’t need to pay you.”

    Personal data has value. So much value, the businesses that focus on collecting it are some of the wealthiest in the world. We are all being robbed.
