Not sure if joking, but if this product is not republishing the text of your contributions (to which you hold copyright), you’re probably not going to convince a court to do anything here.

Generally speaking it is not a violation to scrape, index, and analyze web content as long as you don’t republish copyrighted content without a license, or violate access controls. For example: search engine indexes.

@zX41ZdbW, you can safely ignore this guy.

@GeoAtreides, next time read the actual terms of service before hallucinating.
