Even worse can happen when they have legal control of your words.

@Woodswalked @molly0xfff @ben @dangillmor Which they legally can't because I refuse to sign off my authorship. ^

Best is to actually read ToS before signing up to a site...

I had aleady 15 years ago decided to not join specific forums, that i should socially and technically have been pat of, because the knowledgeable and social people are using then

But they had in their ToS that every writing, every photo, gets perpetually licensed to the owners of the forum "and partners". Or in plainer words, already back then they said they will use my data for all they want

On the other side, i am part of many niche forums where the ToS are explicitly saying that my posts are my own content and i might any time delete them or my whole account. So if i ever would need it (hint: never had needed this on these forums because they are friendly) i would be able to delete all

But these forums are almost totally dead, as "all nomal people" use places like Facebook, because "all normal people" are there, and all events posted there
