Would be a terrible shame if lots of people opted out.

If you are a EU citizen you might also want to write a complaint to privacy@huggingface.co because they are collecting your personally identifiable information in machine-readable form which they are distributing to third parties.

IA is a nonprofit and archives to preserve human history. shitty AI startups do this to monetize the data, and their end goal is to "replace" the people who made that data in the first place.

Thanks to these AI mfs the IA now prevents access to many items because they can be used as training material which fucking sucks
