Logged in to Stack Overflow for the first time in 10 years to check exactly what have I left there.. Now, since the few answers I've given are CC-BY, so they must attribute them to me, if I make a GDPR data subject request for them to delete all my data, logic dictates that whatever they think about text as personal data, they must delete the answers, because they can't attribute them to me as a deleted account. Right? #stackoverflow

Every license contains clauses stipulating the conditions under which it can be revoked. Some argue that letting an LLM "copy" content without attribution is such a violation. Some argue otherwise. Clearly we're in some kind of gray area..
Now, Quora. I haven't posted anything there in 8 years, and very little before that. If I just delete my account, do the posts also get deleted, or do I take the Data Subject Request route there as well? #quora
Ah, cute. Stack Overflow's GDPR data subject request form does not work if your browser has an ad blocker active (I think tha's why?) -- there's a badly integrated CAPTCHA at the end of the form which prevents the form from being submitted. https://policies.stackoverflow.co/data-request/ #stackoverflow#privacy
