Mine haven’t yet. I think it depends on what you use to purge them. I used the Power Delete Suite fork by pkolyvas which adds a 5 seconds delay to comply with rate limits and so far it worked.
EDIT: yeah I just checked again, I found like ~5 comments that were brought back. Going to do this again, fuck them.
EDIT 2: actually many of my top comments were brought back, seems like they bring back only highly voted ones. Fuck them again.
Not to mention the EU privacy laws touching on the right to delete information posted online, even if a company’s terms of service say you don’t have that right. I just don’t understand why they would bother restoring data that bots already have, since it’s been free since it was posted, and will continue to be free until the end of the month. (And even then, it’s still going to be possible to scrape the site for free).

And dangerous. Sometimes people delete information for a reason.
