“To opt out, GitHub users should visit /settings/copilot/features and disable "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training" under the Privacy heading.” https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/26/github_ai_training_policy_changes/
GitHub hits CTRL-Z, decides it will train its AI with user data after all

: As of April 24 you'll be feeding the Octocat unless you opt out

It seems that the wankers have this enabled by default for EU-users also.

Some options re have no way to opt out

@xameer @sboots @soatok there is one way to fully disable this Copilot plagiarization machine - not just hide it:

1. Create a GitHub support ticket and complain that you want Copilot disabled on your account. https://support.github.com/tickets/personal/0
2. Wait a few days.
3. Done!

The problem is that any other accounts who forked your repos and forgot to disable the "train Copilot" option will still make Microslop plagiarize your code. Even if you delete your account.
