@terenceeden atproto is a federated protocol, i'd argue this is just federating to HF... if you want protection against data being federated, then X provides that, somewhat. atproto fundamentally can't work without scraping, though

@hikitoxin This is not being federated from BSky. If it were, then it would respect deletion requests coming via atproto.

As per https://docs.bsky.app/docs/support/developer-guidelines

All services must have a method for deleting content a user has requested to be deleted.

I suggest you take the time to read this excellent thread on the ethics of researching users' public posts - https://bsky.app/profile/cfiesler.bsky.social/post/3lbwurkbfcs2w

Multiple people from Hugging Face including CEO Clem Delangue , Machine Learning Librarian Daniel van Strien, and Principal Ethicist Giada Pistilli have said it is a mistake to upload Bluesky dataset to Hugging Face.

For those in the EU, Solicitor Simon McGarr specializes in Data Privacy and Privacy Law in Ireland. He wrote a letter that people can copy and paste to check if Hugging Face is following Article 15 of the GDPR. https://bsky.app/profile/tupped.bsky.social/post/3lbw3ev7gp22h

@lunarflu Since you an employee of Hugging Face and is monitoring this discussion, are you now saying that Hugging Face has changed it's stance about hosting Bluesky data?
