I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence, but I raised a case with the ICO in the UK, and today they got back to me asking for all my communication with Reddit. Also today - after a month of silence - Reddit also emailed me with this

If you’re in the UK and had been affected by posts being restored, I’d recommend contacting the ICO. It takes less than 5 minutes

Why do you assume that reddit saying that's the explanation, means that that's the explanation? Christian's done a pretty good job of documenting multiple instances of Reddit lying about what's going on, and spez has been observed editing other people's comments, so I wouldn't assume that they're telling the truth in this instance either.
