Decentralized social media platform Bluesky has announced a significant change in its strategy regarding user data and AI training. The company will now allow users to customize which data is used to train AI, or completely prohibit its use.
Last year, Bluesky promised that users’ data would be protected from being used for AI training, but it appears the company hasn’t fully delivered on this promise. However, with the new update, Bluesky aims to give users more control over their data.
CEO Jay Graeber stated that the company is developing a framework to allow users to choose how much of their data is used for AI training or opt out entirely. This change comes as the Bluesky app has been updated to version 1.99, allowing users to upload videos up to three minutes long, an improvement from the previous 60-second limit.
Note: The original text had some information that was not essential to the main topic, such as the update of the Bluesky app, which is only a secondary piece of news. I have omitted this information to focus on the main announcement about data use and AI training.
