    I wonder how they go about licensing content people have shared from others without their consent?

      I’m guessing they signed that dotted line by making an account.

        If I went and reposted someone else’s work there, me making an account doesn’t give them permission to that persons work.

        And reddit is like 90% reposted content.

        Changing the TOS won’t change the license for things the person posting it don’t own in the first place.

        If I go to reddit and post the lyrics to the latest Taylor Swift single, does reddit (and thus google) now own the rights to her song?
