In their TOS, they own anything you post there. Didn’t they sell or scrape data of all its users in the recent past when they changed their TOS?

They’re guilty of the same shit

I don’t really understand the grounds for a suit here mostly because

1. It’s publicly available information. They may “own” it but anyone can access it for free right?

2. Didn’t ai training companies already get away with using copy written ip to train their models? Ex: movies, tv shows, ect.

For people leaving Reddit: you need to scrub your posts before you delete your account. Or replace them with random nonsense is even better.

If you delete the account first, your posts stay, your username is just updated to “deleted”.

Scrub, then delete. There is software for this also, but I am not familiar enough to suggest something.

For anyone familiar with “pillage, and then burn” same idea here.

I’m a little surprised they let me delete my account after they permabanned me, and that deleting my account deleted all of my 18 years-worth of posts and comments (and not just my username/profile). All that data they want to train their bots on, gone (at least publicly, anyway).
