Stack Overflow suspends user for editing posts in OpenAI protest

Stack Overflow suspends user for editing posts in OpenAI protest
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Doors showing Stack Overflow and OpenAI logos

A recent partnership announcement between OpenAI and Stack Overflow has some members concerned that their data is being used without permission and, when trying to remove their posts, find their accounts are suspended.

The partnership was announced on Monday, with OpenAI getting access to Stack Overflow’s API and feedback from developers and StackCommerce getting links in ChatGPT back to its source material and receiving assistance using OpenAI models as part of its new OverflowAI platform.

However, this partnership has worried some users on Stack Overflow [1, 2, 3] as they felt it was not right for OpenAI to profit from their content without permission.

After the announcement, some users wanted to delete their answers, including those with the most votes. However, StackCommerce does not generally allow the deletion of posts if the question has any answers.

Epic Games UI designer Ben said he tried to edit his highest-rated answers and replace them with a message protesting the partnership with OpenAI.

“Stack Overflow does not let you delete questions that have accepted answers and many upvotes because it would remove knowledge from the community,” Ben posted on Mastodon.

“So instead, I changed my highest-rated answers to a protest message. Within an hour, the mods had changed the questions back and suspended my account for seven days.”

However, Ben shared an image of Stack Overflow restoring the edited posts to the original answer and then suspending his account.

In an email shared by Ben, Stack Overflow moderators clarified that it does not allow users to remove posts because they hurt the community as a whole.

“You have recently removed or defaced content from your posts. Please note that once you post a question or answer to this site, those posts become part of the collective efforts of others who have also contributed to that content,” Stack Exchange moderators wrote in an email to users deleting their posts.

“Posts that are potentially useful to others should not be removed except under extraordinary circumstances. Even if the post is no longer useful to the original author, that information is still beneficial to others who may run into similar problems in the future – this is the underlying philosophy of Stack Exchange.”

Article 17 of the GDPR rules gives users in the EU the ‘right to be forgotten,’ which means that websites must honor requests to remove users’ personal data upon request, which could include forum posts and other user-generated content.

However, Article 17 (3) also states that a website has the right not to delete data if necessary for “exercising the right of freedom of expression and information.”

Dutch IT lawyer Arnoud Engelfriet interprets this to mean that while personally identifiable information and profile data must be removed, as long as the post does not contain identifiable information, it can remain to prevent flow of a topic or question from being disrupted.

“However, specifically with forums you run into a problem that disrupts the discussion to some extent, or the archive is no longer complete,” reads a post by Engelfriet.

“That is a problem, because in such situations freedom of expression is compromised. People should be able to read what has been said in the past, and privacy should not be allowed to rush through it like a 1984 bulldozer.”

It remains unclear if Stack Overflow will change its decision and allow users to delete their answers in the future, but given its partnership with OpenAI, it seems unlikely.

BleepingComputer contacted Stack Overflow with questions about this deleting posts and their partnership with OpenAI but did not receive a response by the time of this publication.
