1. #JackHanlon, Global Head of Data at Reddit, served on US nonprofit #CrisisTextLine 's Data, Ethics, and Research Advisory Board during the time they were developing for-profit spinoff #LorisAI customer service software supposedly trained on crisis conversations. Their advisory boards were apparently disbanded last year. Wayback link prior to boards' being removed from website:

2. Data harvesting at #reddit. In this podcast interview, Jack Hanlon says “Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Open AI all used Reddit’s dataset to train their premier text (inaudible) models.” (Within excerpt from 12:22 – 13:40) this podcast interview:
