Instead of solely deleting content, what if authors had instead moved their content/answers to something self-owned? Can SO even claim ownership legally of the content on their site? Seems iffy in my own, ignorant take.

Everything you submit to StackOverflow is licensed under either MIT or CC depending on when you submitted it.

So they have to carefully only source the MIT data?

It hasn't been tested in court so any answer anyone gives is only a best guess.
