This dataset was scraped from the Bluesky API without users’ consent, and there’s not an easy way to opt out as per item 3 of the Bluesky Developer Guidelines

Hi @John-breen ,
I recommend that you learn to read. There is nothing unethical about your public posts being read by members of the public. Consider writing things down in a journal if you don't want them to be public.

I can suggest a journal wrapped in tin foil for good price

Everything about it is unethical considering it violates the GDPR, we never gave these people any consent.

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

Sir Solicitor whatever can not even spell Daniel's name correctly, so what is the intention behind bombarding HF mail account, the dataset was already taken down.

Developers who federate their apps or services on the AT Protocol...

This isn't an app or service and it isn't federated...
