Given that Steve (the CEO) has, now or in the past:

* edited the content of user comments without acknowledgment,

* threatened to or has removed or installed moderators into communities to circumvent the blackout

* threatened to "un-private" communities

Why are you so sure that he wouldn't authorize un-deletion of comments?

Reddit has value no just through it's "new/live" content. Plenty of people search for "$topic Reddit" and fond some old threads with useful information. If the content is deleted, Reddit usefulness goes way down.

What business value did editing users comments out from under them?

Still happened, though.
