- Sharlin 1y agoI don't remember entering into any sort of contract or license agreement with HN (besides the obvious that HN can make zillions of copies of my work to show them to other users). Users have copyright to their posts and comments as expected.
- AbstractH24 1y agoI don’t remember entering into one with Reddit FB, I think it was sort of implied.
- webspinner 1y agoWe all did when we signed up, or if I suppose. Just not the recent ridiculous data training with no optout changes.

- cwillu 1y ago“This is not relevant to your point but I want to say that's an entirely third party project and we didn't even know about it for a long time. We don't publish data to them except in the sense that we publish it to everybody: https://github.com/HackerNews/API https://github.com/HackerNews/API. I think their page gives a misleading impression that the project is somehow official, when it's not (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43850991 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43850991).” --dang at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44022318 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44022318 There is no such thing as an offical y combinator data
- HelloImSteven 1y agoThanks, good to know. Their page on BigQuery is very misleading.
- zaptrem 1y agoDoes Google hold the rights to this content? They've been providing a less capable version of this service for >25 years.
