If they were just talking about Reddit, I’d assume something dodgy was going on connected with the IPO. But Quora is supposedly back from the dead too… Am I missing something glaringly obvious here?

Google wants the data to be exclusively licensed, so they can pursue any competing LLMs and sue them to death - I mean, develop a 'moat'

It's not really about the actual data access

All the effort Reddit has put into locking down data access
Google itself was behind the lawsuit establishing fair use for scraped datasets, and it's looking likely that will be upheld
