The article takes that angle because Bluesky users are currently harassing and threatening a researcher. Read the replies to his original thread: https://bsky.app/profile/danielvanstrien.bsky.social/post/3l...

From the article:

>Per a report by 404 Media, Daniel van Strien, a machine learning librarian at AI firm Hugging Face, pulled 1 million public posts from Bluesky via its Firehose API for machine learning research, pushing the dataset to a public repository. Van Strien later removed the data due to the controversy that ensued; however, it serves as a timely reminder that everything you post publicly to Bluesky is, well, public.

So what was the license on the data?

HF certainly have a restrictive license on data they produce.

See also the comments where Daniel apologizes. Bluesky hasnt changed anything about the shape of Twitter and the kind of harassment that occurs. A mob of people have some vague enemy (AI bros) and pile on the first target of opportunity directing all their "kill yourself" energy at one individual at a time.
