A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

TOS dictates that Reddit owns all content on their platform, you’d have no case
Reddit doesn't "own" the content, TOS only have users agree to give Reddit a license to do as it pleases.
Ah, right they don’t own it! It’s just stored on their servers, and they have exclusive rights to do whatever they’d like with it. But they don’t own it.
Read the TOS, they don't have "exclusive" rights.
However It gets interesting because under EU law TOS that violate GDPR are not enforceable. So at least EU citizens could probably have some recourse.
There’s a lot of “at least EU citizens” going around lol
Americans find it odd that other people have legal protections.
California has something similar too (CCPA), as do a few other non-EU countries and US states.
