Reddit’s Sale of User Data for AI Training Draws FTC Inquiry.

During the last week of February, the famous Reddit platform publicly announced an agreement it had made with Google, in which it sanctioned the decision to license content on its platform.

Reddit is a social network whose entire support is community-driven, which means that the 17 billion posts within it are, presumably, all user-generated, making them for all intents and purposes the best 'fuel' for training artificial intelligences.

Recently, the platform revealed that it had received a letter from the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), in which the agency requested information on the 'sale, licensing or sharing of user-generated content with third parties to train artificial intelligence models'.
