I just enabled copilot and I see in the settings this is checked by default

https://github.com/settings/copilot

> - [x] Allow GitHub to use my code snippets from the code editor for product improvements > > Allow GitHub, its affiliates and third parties to use my code snippets to research and improve GitHub Copilot suggestions, related models and product features.

Should we still be concerned if opting out?

It's been my experience that, with time, opt-outs from SaaS multiply.

People opt out, some PM or whoever decides they need 'metrics' (numbers to spin)... and more categories or qualifications are summarily added. Starting the cycle again.

I assume they'll send a privacy policy update in at most six months. I wouldn't call it concerning. Routine. I won't participate, that's for sure.
