80gb? That isn't too much but guess if it's internal information and docs could be damaging to a public offering.

    For context, based on historical pushshift data:

    • 80gb zipped decompresses to ~1100GB of text data
    • 80gb zipped would only be the most recent ~4 months of comments

    They do indicate that the data they have is more valuable though, particularly pointing out how users are being tracked (GDPR alarm bells ringing) or censored.
