Discovered this morning that Maven heymaven.com (a social media startup who's CEO is ex OpenAI "Ken Stanley: leading the Open-Endedness Team at OpenAI") is mass importing public posts from the with no links back to the original and no way to delete them. It seems there is no Opt-out or Opt-in mechanism at all. It also has posts from pulled in via @bsky.brid.gy that are also not linked back to the original.

Here's an example: app.heymaven.com/profile/66927

@liaizon @bsky.brid.gy This sounds bad but as a non-technical person, I don’t understand much of it. Questions:

1. Is it likely that everyone here has had data scraped?
2. Can we protect ourselves?
3. If so, how?

I am sure there are more questions but these come to mind immediately.
Thanks.
