TBH, Reddit really shouldn't have 230 protection anyways.

You can't be licensing user content to AI as it's not yours. You also can't be undeleting posts people make (otherwise it's really reddit's posts and not theirs).

When you start treating user data as your own; it should become your own and that erodes 230.

undeleting is bad enough, but they've edited the content of user's comments too.

It belongs to reddit, the user handed over the content willingly.

In which case, Reddit is the author, publisher and distributor, and cannot claim any protection from libel or defamation suits

It is theirs. Users agreed to grant Reddit a license to use the content when they accepted the terms of service.
