The age verification process is performed by Persona, a third-party provider that won’t have access to users’ Reddit data or retain photos for longer than seven days. Reddit says it also won’t have access to uploaded photos, and that it will only store birthdates and verification statuses so that users don’t need to re-verify their account.
Uh huh. You'd be surprised how many people still think once a snap on Snapchat is deleted, it's gone forever and no one can view it again. Wonder how long it will take before the "oops a data leak revealed all the stuff we said we weren't going to retain wasn't properly deleted and now anyone with a magnet link can grab it" event happens.
