Amid growing concerns over how social media platforms handle user content, Bluesky has announced its commitment to safeguarding user data, declaring it will not use posts to train generative AI tools. This stance comes as Bluesky experiences a surge in users fleeing X (formerly Twitter), which recently updated its terms of service to allow public posts to be used for AI training.
Bluesky’s statement highlights a growing divide between platforms over data usage policies. By prioritizing user trust and transparency, Bluesky positions itself as a privacy-focused alternative in the competitive social media landscape, appealing to users wary of how their data might be exploited.
This move could signal a shift in the industry, where user consent and ethical AI practices become key differentiators in attracting and retaining users.
