    Hopefully EU and US regulators will stomp that site to the ground as selling user generated data for AI companies sounds like something most people on Reddit did not sign in to.

      They almost certainly “agreed” to terms letting reddit do whatever they want with their posts, and this would likely been seen as reasonable if challenged in court as they were getting a free service in return.

        You can’t sign away certain rights under EU law, and any terms that attempt to do that are considered void.

          Do you have any reason to think that this is one of those rights? Especially given that signing over copyright absolutely is something you can agree to in a contract.

      EU and maybe gdpr and other similar regulation matter. The US hasn’t updated our regulations on the tech sector, we’re like 30y behind.
