@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.
