Bluesky just took a stand for creators’ rights!
While other platforms are rushing to monetize user data for AI training, Bluesky has explicitly committed to NOT using user content for generative AI development. This comes as their competitor X rolls out new terms allowing them to train AI on user posts.
Why this matters:
- Creators retain control of their content
- Sets a precedent for user data rights
- Shows emerging platforms can prioritize user privacy
The numbers speak volumes:
- 3M+ new users in just the past week
- Total user base now exceeds 17M
- Growing creator community, especially artists
Interesting catch: While Bluesky won’t use your data for AI training, their robots.txt doesn’t block other companies from crawling posts. They’re actively working on solutions to better protect user consent.
Key takeaway: As social platforms evolve, the battle over user data rights is becoming a key differentiator. Bluesky’s stance could reshape how we think about content ownership in the digital age.
