Hey guys, let's be clear.
Google now has a full complete set of logs including user IPs (correlate with gmail accounts), PRIVATE MESSAGES, and also reddit posts.
They pinky promise they will only train AI on the data.
I can pretty much guarantee someone can subpoena google for your information communicated on reddit, since they now have this PII (username(s)/ip/gmail account(s)) combo. Hope you didn't post anything that would make the RIAA upset! And let's be clear... your deleted or changed data is never actually deleted or changed... it's in an audit log chain somewhere so there's no way to stop it.
"GDPR WILL SAVE ME!" - gdpr started in 2016. Can you ever be truly sure they followed your deletion requests?
"lets be clear"
You're making things up and presenting them as facts, how is any of this "clear"?
How do you think Reddit is restoring posts that people have been deleting?
Do you think Google’s deal simply allowed them to scrape old.reddit? Hell no, there is probably a live replica of Reddit prod at Google somewhere, including deleted posts and all edits.
You don’t think they paid $60m just scrape, do you?
