Reddit Will License Its Data to Train LLMs, So We Made a Firefox Extension That Lets You Replace Your Comments With Any (Non-Copyrighted) Text
An anticapitalist technology blog. Embrace the technology that liberates us. Smash that which does not.
I know there are other ways of accomplishing that, but this might be a convenient way of doing it. I'm wondering though if Reddit is still reverting these changes?
You're viewing a single thread.
It's not reddit's data, it's the users'. Reddit management is just overentitled jerks.
Someone didn't read the TOS
Admittedly, I haven't read the TOS... but I don't need to. At least where I live it would be illegal to claim ownership of someone else's work (unless you paid a living wage to create it, or something along those lines. A software company for example can claim ownership of employee created software).
Maybe you should read them. They are not claiming ownership. They are claiming that you licenced them to use your contributions for whatever purpose they want. Different thing.
The users give the site a pretty broad license for their content. Calling it the user’s data is a moot point.
Don’t even recall if the Lemmy instance I use has a TOS, but it’s likely the server owner has similar rights just by the nature of how this tech works.
