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.

They’re not able to scrape private repos, surely?

    No, it seems to only be a subset of public repo's.
    I have like 65 repo's and only 13 were scraped. I don't get why they specifically scraped those though. They don't have the most stars, they aren't the oldest or newest, not the ones with the most forks, nor do I see a pattern based on programming language.
