Virginia law provides privacy protections recently enacted to allow "the right to access, correct, and delete their personal information."

Having worked at a company that had a massive influx of GDPR requests we weren’t prepared for, this one could actually cause them some trouble if Reddit don’t have that process properly automated.

There are 18 states that have followed suit, providing for deletion requests. The latest being Tennessee, which goes into affect July 1.

The following is from Data Guidance

On 11 May 2023, the Tennessee Governor signed the TIPA into law, which shall enter into force on 1 July 2025. The TIPA sets out obligations for businesses covered by its scope, such as risk assessments, data minimisation requirements, and obtaining opt-in consent for processing sensitive personal information, and establishes consumer rights, including the right to know, access, correction, deletion, and data portability, as well as a right to opt out of the sale of personal information, targeted advertising, and profiling.

2025?! I mean, it’s fair to give companies a heads up, but we really should have had these protections from the start.
