Sorry to tell you, but once you post it on Reddit, the content is no longer yours.

Not your content, not your choice.

I am still an individual in this world with rights no matter how much "the internet" feels that isn't true.

Reference the current legislation being put in place around the world regarding privacy as proof that I am not in the minority here.

Also it did work exactly like that since reddit allowed me to delete said content and and chose to stop posting or interacting with reddit.

Could there be a copy my reddit history out there somewhere? Sure.

Do I have an issue with that? Nope.

Would I have an issue with that if that copy was held by reddit and they still trained LLMs or sold it to ad companies? Yes and I'm sure I also have legal standing on that backed by my government.

you also had the right to read the reddit terms of service, granting them ability to do this with "your" information

Legislation or not, it is very entitled to think that that which is cast to the public is something you have any control over. Any illusory power you might have is merely legal, which in the grand scheme of things doesn't amount to much. The entire notion of copyright is built on this false premise of control. But in the world of ideas or information, bits are copied freely and easily and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.

Don't like it, don't post it

> and I'm sure I also have legal standing on that backed by my government.

Oh honey.

FWIW you can "delete" the content from public view. however, reddit keeps the data internally and can sell the data. so if the intent is to block the public view that works but if it's to block reddit from using your content it does nothing.

That applies to your nudes too.

sorry to tell you, but you're wrong lmao
