    Fucking what?

    "Unlike stack-v3-train, the file contents in this bucket are not PII-redacted. They are the raw file contents as crawled from GitHub and may contain emails, credentials, API keys, and other personal data that was public on GitHub. You are responsible for performing PII redaction on any data you derive from stack-v3-full."

    No. Go fuck yourself. If you're going to scrape, have the decency to redact it. I fucking hate you. I hope you get fucking investigated, HuggingFace.

    This should be illegal. This should be treated as a severe data breach and a failure of privacy on GitHub's part too.

    There is so much stuff on GitHub that people unwillingly upload without knowing and now it's being shared without being redacted to the public in AI datasets.

    We need to put an end to this, stand against this bullshit. I am actually fucking ballistic. People need to start class-action lawsuits against this kind of bullshit from HF and fine them until they can no longer operate.

    No wonder why GitHub was going down constantly, it's because they were fucking letting HF scrape them of 50TB of data.

    @spycrab HF provides an opt-out method for getting your projects out of their dataset. No guarantees though to be honest. I'd also consider writing to whoever could help get your stuff out of that dataset, whether it be governmental data control orgs or something else.

    I moved to Codeberg in 2025 as well and removed all of my GH repos, Codeberg recently banned cryptocurrency projects and vibecoded projects too.

    There's also git.gay and some others out there.

    This should be illegal
    This is illegal, i'm fairly certain. it's like, super illegal in the EU. the GDPR is all about handling personal information, and they definitely can't scrape this and then just publish it without any form of consent.

    @sodiboo i fucking knew this might be the case (especially with the emails on git commits too) but i wasn't sure. might also be the same here in the UK.

    @mrmasterkeyboard @sodiboo
    It‘s also super illegal with regards to copyright law basically everywhere. They removed repositories with known Copyleft licenses (like torvalds/linux), but kept those without any, probably betting that those people don‘t know any better about their rights.

    @mrmasterkeyboard I'm almost certain that the UK grandfathered the GDPR into UK law on Brexit, but I'm not sure what might have happened since. But yes, what's described by that quote earlier in the thread would definitely be in violation of the GDPR! An opt-out after the fact is not enough.

    IANAL, but I have an interest in this kind of stuff.

    @mrmasterkeyboard this is so fucking stupid wtf how is this allowed :neocat_flop: unfortunately i feel like it's unlikely anything could be done from a legal perspective, given the license grants in the github terms of service;

    "By making a repository public, you grant other Users a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, perform and reproduce (by forking) Your Content through the Service as permitted by GitHub's functionality. You may grant additional rights by adopting a license. If you post Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring it is licensed under terms that permit these uses."

    though, that's only on the copyright front. it seems likely that a case could be made with GDPR or similar regulation

    @zatnosk i wonder if someone will eventually start a class action lawsuit or something. (considering that we in the UK also have a similar GDPR it should be illegal too)

    @hexaheximal It will. You can easily check what repos are in the dataset and that AI will be trained on it. If a company like Apple can prove their XNU APSL code is being used in a different kernel exactly the same written by an AI on that dataset without proper attribution by checking if their repos were included and diffing their code and the other kernels code, then all hell will break loose. Same could happen with Linux code being stolen and reused by AI violating GPL.

    That's how I see it.

    @hexaheximal In fact, I can prove this.

    If I remember, ChatGPT or a similar model was able to recite the entire first chapter of the first HP book (fuck Rowling btw). Also, someone "wrote" an ExFAT driver for FreeBSD using AI and it was almost exactly the same as the GPL Linux ExFAT driver and was caught in reviews. It will happen. A company will notice and then sue HF for copyright infringement and license violation.

    @mrmasterkeyboard wtf, the audacity!

    "Hey we inhaled all of your code without consent, now you're responsible for cleaning it up"

    Maybe a solar flare is the way to go?
