You don't have to be a California resident for it to apply "CCPA does not explicitly require that a household be physically located in California or a device be owned by a California resident." https://www.foxrothschild.com/publications/does-the-california-consumer-privacy-act-apply-to-me/ and it definitely applies to reddit "Which companies does the CCPA affect? All companies that serve California residents and have at least $25 million in annual revenue must comply with the law. In addition, companies of any size that have personal data on at least 50,000 people or that collect more than half of their revenues from the sale of personal data, also fall under the law. Companies don't have to be based in California or have a physical presence there to fall under the law. They don't even have to be based in the United States."

It contains a right to be forgotten provision and also I would ask them to explain how a deleted account was resurrected email address: redditdatarequests@reddit.com

Thanks for the info! Sent them yet another email. I don't think my account was hacked, I think they're pulling some bullshit.

I posted this above, bur posting again so you see it: Back before emails were not required, I never gave Reddit my email address. I'd made several accounts back then. I got emails from Reddit to the email address that I never gave them, notifying me that someone was trying to re-activate these accounts and I needed to log in to stop them. I figured it was some kind of trap tp confirm my identity and never responded to them
