"lets be clear"

You're making things up and presenting them as facts, how is any of this "clear"?

How do you think Reddit is restoring posts that people have been deleting?

Do you think Google’s deal simply allowed them to scrape old.reddit? Hell no, there is probably a live replica of Reddit prod at Google somewhere, including deleted posts and all edits.

You don’t think they paid $60m just scrape, do you?

Since an IP address alone is not considered PII, can you prove that they did not provide IP addresses for each post?

Do you think it's more or less likely that ip addresses, account names, private messages and deleted messages and posts would be included?

Remember that they paid 60 million dollars for this information and web scrapers have been capable of capturing subreddit post data for over a decade as is at a $0 price tag from reddit.
