Why?

Because reddit is very likely in violation of the GDPR with their plans to sell user data to Google to train their LLMs.

I am not well enough versed on gdpr unfortunately. Is there a specific article this would be in violation of?

Potentially several, I've outlined it in the post linked here. https://kbin.social/m/reddit@lemmy.world/t/854162/Any-EU-based-users-of-reddit-should-immediately-file-a

How so?

It's outlined in my post, you can of course continue to ignore it. That's fine.

And you are a lawyer?

As I've already stated in reply to a comment of yours on the other crosspost, no. I am a certified data protection officer and you do not need to be a lawyer to have some competence in dealing with the GDPR. The GDPR specifically outlines the role and required qualifications for the data protection officer.
