I just followed the opt out link and they're making you open a public issue with a Markdown list with all your repositories you want removed.

Surely there has to be a better way to do this (probably the point).

Also why are they storing 4.71 TB in a Git repo? How are they going to deal with removal requests?

EDIT: It seems like they're manually responding to the issues, wtf? There's a perfectly fine GitHub auth system that they could use to verify everyone's GitHub account / repository ownership

EDIT 2: This is apperently a collaboration between Hugging Face and ServiceNow, why is my companies IT ticketing system scraping all of GitHub?

    No, it seems to only be a subset of public repo's.
    I have like 65 repo's and only 13 were scraped. I don't get why they specifically scraped those though. They don't have the most stars, they aren't the oldest or newest, not the ones with the most forks, nor do I see a pattern based on programming language.

    Too many people gloss over the fact how insane it is that some people genuinely believe non-believers burn forever in a magic post death torture world. Like how can someone think that while talking with someone, and be like, aw sucks for them, glad I submit to this ancient chain email creepypasta.

    It still baffles me when I realize someone thinks like that.
