A user named developer Epic Games tried to protest by editing his posts. As a result, he was banned from Stack Overflow for a week. The forum argues that user-generated content has become part of the collective work and should not be removed.
The incident raises questions about data ownership on public platforms. This generally applies to personal information, although laws in most countries allow users to request deletion of data. Stack Overflow’s terms of service state that users give up control when posting information publicly.
The conflict highlights concerns about artificial intelligence and data collection. Users are questioning whether they have a say when their content is used to train AI, especially after Stack Overflow previously banned AI-generated content.
