If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

When I asked Bluesky users why they left X, many said they didn’t want their posts training AI.

But with Bluesky’s open API, anyone can scrape posts for that purpose. A HuggingFace employee just shared a dataset of 1M posts.

The reality: if you post online, assume it’ll be used to train AI.
