To anyone thinking about joining BlueSky, especially artists: everything you post is sent to a third party for AI labeling.

BlueSky uses AI to label content for moderation, and to do that they use a company called https://thehive.ai. If you look through their privacy policy, you will see that they can use content sent to them to train models for all their services, which include generative AI for both text and images.

@FluffyDeveloper where is the link to their privacy policy? I can't find it with a simple search and I'm curious.

@murm Here you go :)

Look under "How We Use Information We Obtain”, 4th bullet point.

@murm No need to, here is the actual code calling on hive.ai API.

@FluffyDeveloper Frankly if bluesky doing this without stating as such in their own privacy policy that's twice as disgusting tbh. Thank you so much for pointing this out either way. I'll be sure to use this info to warn others

@murm I cannot find their privacy policy either, nor any terms of service, even on their company site.

Maybe it's visible during signup?

@FluffyDeveloper imagine if they just don't have one because "ITS IN BETA"

God.

@murm I'd think they would have to have one regardless of the readiness of the software, especially for European users to follow the GDPR.
