Well, then the original dataset should also remove my data. Just because it's there doesn't mean it's there legally.

It covers all User Content, which is comments and post titles (I think) at a minimum.

From your link:

> Hacker News Information: If you create a Hacker News account (ID and profile), we do not collect any Personal Information unless you choose to provide your email address and/or information in the "about" field (“HN Information”). Your submissions to, and comments you make on, the Hacker News site are not Personal Information and are not "HN Information" as defined in this Privacy Policy.

Correct.

I'm a little surprised people don't know the ownership story on HN. Didn't it raise questions when they realized they can't delete their posts without mother-may-I'ing the mods?

HN is pretty up-front that when you post here you are providing them content for free to more-or-less consume as they please.

I disagree on the up-front... front. Neither of the things you mentioned are made clear when signing up for an account.

[Jerrrry]

The onus is on you.

That policy explicitly excludes HN comments.
