120

121
+ **Reddit content** in the database is owned by its original authors and Reddit. It's being redistributed here from the public arctic-shift archive for research and educational use, similar to how Pushshift was used by researchers for years. This is **not** a claim of public-domain status.

+ If you are a Reddit user whose content is included and you want it removed from future rebuilds, open an issue on the GitHub repo with your username and the affected content will be filtered out of the next snapshot.

125
+ ## Intended use
126
+
127
+ - Patient/researcher exploratory analysis of self-reported chronic-illness experiences
128
+ - Pattern-finding across thousands of accounts that single anecdotes hide
129
+ - Generating hypotheses and leads to bring to clinicians or to peer-reviewed literature
130
+ - Sanity-checking marketing claims and protocol recommendations against real reported outcomes
131
 
132
+ ## Prohibited use
133
 
134
+ - Contacting, messaging, or harassing Reddit users found in the data
135
+ - Building tools that imitate, impersonate, or republish named user content commercially
136
+ - Training models intended to mimic specific users
137
+ - Diagnosing, prescribing, or recommending medical treatment based on this data alone

+ This is patient-reported experience data. It has not been clinically validated. People misremember, exaggerate, and miss confounders. The subs are heavily selection-biased — people who recover usually stop posting.
