Yes, but the user is also in a cake-and-eat-it-to scenario: they get to own the content and have it distributed for free.
Both sides of this come from the perpetual non-exclusive license that posting to Reddit or Twitter or anywhere confers. "Ownership" is too reductive a concept for IP, which is why the section 230 thing is a non sequitur.
