They must oblige within a certain time frame — even if your account has been suspended and I believe even if you’ve deleted your account. Curiously, this might be one effective way to protest. Golly I wonder what would happen if many people requested such reports simultaneously. It seems these must be processed manually by admins.

As a bonus, it’s nice because all your comments and messages are searchable.

    If you’re a European citizen. They’ll fulfill this request (after 30 days) regardless, but I don’t believe they’re legally obligated to for US citizens.

    It’s just easier to comply with EU laws for everyone than it is for them to figure out if you’re a European citizen or not.

      They are legally obligated for some US citizens. California (~40 million people) has a law similar to GDPR.

      They also don’t have a way to check where you live so you can do the request and select either option (GDPR or CCPA) and they will fulfill the request.
