Wtf is Reddit Pro?
That’s a great example of “if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product”. Reddit is transparently associating changes in the privacy policy with Reddit Pro, that calls itself a suite of tools “for businesses to also establish and grow a meaningful organic presence on Reddit” (translation: so corporations can astroturf the shit out of local communities).
Kind of.
That saying (I wouldn’t call it a “rule”) applies mostly to for-profit products and services; like, if they’re doing it for the money, and you aren’t giving them money directly, you’re doing it indirectly, and you should find how. Lemmy instances on the other hand are [mostly? all?] non-profit, it’s just a bunch of users trying to nurture communities to talk about stuff that they enjoy.
Reddit users will be so surprised when leopards eat their faces.
“The content you submit is not public”. They’re 100% are trying to word-weasel out of gdpr Requirements
To be clear, it says they clarify what content is non-public. They aren’t saying all content is non-public.
I hope spez takes a long trip on a leaky boat.
