Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I hope Blue sky sues them.
i bet that bluesky worked with them to get their company and all their personal accounts established at bluesky as the primary social media channel.
i don't expect they will get anything more than a slap on the wrists, if at all.
The legal system is the perfect place for working out nuanced issues like this.
If I were a lawyer and making this lawsuit I would argue that "publicly available" does not mean "public domain", and that without acquiring usage rights for the data then you don't have the right to use the data.
If the courts rule against a decision like this then that would mean that any website that hosts any materials that can be accessed without an account must then provide that material to any person who accesses it free of charge which is a gigantic consequence to this nuanced issue.
I'd just bury them in GDPR notices, which quite a few people did
A data set isn't like a photocopier in any meaningful way.
It's not a tool, it's information, and some of it counts as personal data under EU data protection laws.
