  Yeah, sorry if I’m not great at communicating it but that’s exactly what I’m trying to point out when I said:

  Even if we don’t federate with them, Meta can still harvest the data so we should add these protections regardless.

    That’s the thing, anything public is fair game. This is why Reddit is ruining their API.

      It’s not fair game for for-profit bussinesses training LLM’s. That’s part of why Reddit made the move; so that companies would need to pay Reddit for access to the data for legally training models

        They changed the terms and made the API pay to use for large volumes of use. People using it to train models have already pillaged what they need and you can get the data prior to APIgeddon elsewhere.
