What rule they breaking though?

https://tomshardware.com/tech-indus...

rules are just there to comfort people that live under a power misbalance that they won't live under tyranny

they're not real thiiings

reminds me of the NDA a place gave that said anything I ever make belongs to them, off hours including
if I sneeze it's theirs

property rights, wheeee

I’m downloading last valid stackoverflow dumps right now xD

wow they ban you for changing/deleting your answers, wow

The “messing with the money for the C suite” rule. The most important of all.

What a shit show. *grabs popcorn*

They should simply delete their account rather than editing answers. The edit history is still there to view and scrape the data

Banning is an asshole move no doubt but such people aren't mature either. It is a lose-lose situation overall. By the way, what good is going to come preventing AI from learning from their content? It has already learnt a lot and If not the stack exchange, OpenAI and others can already crawl multiples of versions of their cloned websites. Who knows? SO could already have a bot secretly querying GPT and posting answers anonymously

I think it's messed up they steal people's answers

now nobody will share information because they're about to be told you actually don't own anything you post. in that case posting is a stupid idea. why give something off for free when you get such bad faith treatment back? they've shown their parasitic hand.

stackoverflow created value due to its users. you don't keep them happy no users to create free value for you. company dies.
