    Yeh, but its such a grey area.
    If the result was for security only, potentially could be passable as “essential” processing.
    But, considering the scope of content posted on reddit (under 18s, details of medical (even criminal) content) it becomes significantly harder to justify the processing of that data alongside PII (or equivalent).
    Especlially since its a change of terms & service agreements (passing data to 3rd party processors)

    If security moderation is what they want in exchange for the data (and money), its more likely that reddit would include one-way anonymised PII (ie IP addresses that are hashed), so only reddit can recover/confirm ip addresses against the model.
    Because, if they arent… Then they (and google) are gonna get FUCKED in EU courts
