Bluesky Data Harvested for AI Development
A dataset of one million public posts from the social media platform Bluesky was scraped and uploaded to AI company Hugging Face for machine learning research, sparking controversy over user consent and data privacy. The dataset, which included user identifiers and metadata, was removed after backlash. Bluesky, which operates on an open and decentralized protocol, is exploring ways to allow users to communicate consent for data use to third-party developers.
