Sure. I can't wait to see all the lawsuits and fines overwhelming Reddit, and any other service that have occasional data consistency issues. This is heavily regulated by law, of course.
Of course this isn't "heavily regulated". No law demands 100% consistency when you run some third party script during an outage. Clicking "delete" on a comment, or having a script do it, is not some GPDR enforced action.
You are incredibly wrong about this. Consent for data processing is the meat & potatoes of both GDPR and the largest enforcement actions that have happened through it. The delete button revoked consent.
