I’d imagine total despair and frustration right now is quite high. Do they think their CEO is holding Reddit back or taking it forward?

Hah. They probably know. This sounds like data that shows how reddit operates / source code, not the actual post/images available on the website.
Oh sure, 80 GB isn't gonna go too far in the way of images and stuff. However! I remember when the technology sub was caught censoring certain keywords. I remember when video of Hilary being carried out of the 9/11 ceremony was censored. I remember when people posting the maxwellhill theory were shadowbanned, etc. The code that did things like that might be real interesting to analyze.
Edit: maybe I shouldn't have read that. If any of that is true, and there's even a hint of truth that aswartz found it and that's why we no longer have him here, I'm already getting upset thinking about it. I still remember exactly where I was standing when I read that Aaron was gone, and am still surprised it didn't send me into more of a spiral.
If true, this is interesting. As a knowledge repository, having an archive of it would be fascinating. The size seems small to me. Only 80 gigabytes? What happened to all the video and images that Reddit hosts? Not everything is imgur or other sites. That said, 4.5 million is too much that they are asking. It's only data not IP or trade secrets as far as I know. I think they certainly could get 500k for the deletion.…

Surely that can't be true after compression?

You should relink the maxwellhill theory thread in this comment too. I generally am wary of conspiracies, but dang, I can't believe I forgot about that one! Edit: maybe I shouldn't have read that.

Don't get upset about it. Stay vocal and positive. Everything Swartz believed in and more is still possible, and Huffman's ilk would love for you to forget that.
There's also still the (tiny, imo) chance that all this circumstantial evidence is coincidental. I don't believe that, but it's helpful to remember that fact.

Given the mentions of confidential data, secrets about censorship, and GitHub artifacts, I would assume that public posts/comments aren't part of it? (if it is actually true)
