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

    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?

      with a Markdown list with all your repositories you want removed.

      The repo readme linked FAQ says

      You can choose to request either (1) all repos, or (2) you can specify select repos that you own to be removed.

      so “all of them” should be acceptable
