Stack Overflow Bans Users for Protesting Against It Selling Their Answers to OpenAI as Training Data
Briefly

One Stack Overflow user was suspended for editing their answers to protest against OpenAI profiting from their work: 'Why does OpenAI get to profit from our work?'
The user emphasized the inevitability of platforms using user data for profit: 'It's just a reminder that anything you post on any of these platforms can and will be used for profit.'
Stack Overflow users refer to GDPR to delete data, but the site's terms allow irrevocable licensing of posted content, leading to suspensions for post edits or removals.
Stack Overflow's policy aims to preserve organic community knowledge, despite user protests against 'defacing' posts and concerns over data use for corporate gains.
