Because reddit is very likely in violation of the GDPR with their plans to sell user data to Google to train their LLMs.

I posted an extensive write up over here: https://kbin.social/m/reddit@lemmy.world/t/854162/Any-EU-based-users-of-reddit-should-immediately-file-a

Scroll down to the last section for tl;dr instructions :)

If you are in the EU file a complaint under the GDPR with your supervisory authority. They are processing data of people and especially children here that they have no right to at all. Users were not informed, no opt out, nothing. This is extremely illegal in the EU. Not to mention all that data on special categories like health data, sexual orientation ,ethnicity, etc. Etc.

If you are in the EU file a complaint with your supervisory authority as reddit is illegally processing and selling data of children to be trained with by Google, not to mention all other users who weren't properly informed, nor consent retrieved. This one is going to be fun.

Article contradicts itself, who wrote this? Smells like AI. Says 10 were killed by snipers and next sentence says it was 1 and 70 something wounded that were killed and wounded by snipers. Which is it?

Bet that author totally read the "nearly 1 million word" verdict and didn't make any translation errors as they accuse other outlets of. Totally legit.

I was donating until I got an email telling me to donate more signed by their CEO or something who earns a couple hundred thousand a year.

Mind, I wasn't opted into communcation like that. Only updates and news this was neither. If their new CEO cleans house and refocuses as they said they will, I will consider renewing my donations again.

Just saw some clown on Mastodon argue that capitalism isn't to blame for this.

Recently saw a video of a German train driver who is also suffering from this nonsense and sometimes has difficulties seeing signage, etc.

As a PO if I heard my Dev team wasting valuable time like this, I would put an immediate stop to this.

Not your problem, escalate to management for inefficiency.
