    80gb? That isn’t too much but guess if it’s internal information and docs could be damaging to a public offering.

      For context, based on historical pushshift data:

      • 80gb zipped decompresses to ~1100GB of text data
      • 80gb zipped would only be the most recent ~4 months of comments

      They do indicate that the data they have is more valuable though, particularly pointing out how users are being tracked (GDPR alarm bells ringing) or censored.

      Might be a single weird Bee Movie video meme as well.
