Bluesky announced on Friday that it has “no intention” of using user content to train generative AI tools. This statement came on the same day that X (formerly Twitter) implemented new terms of service, allowing it to analyze user text and other information to train its generative AI models.
“A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns about other platforms using their data for AI training,” Bluesky said in a post. “We do not use any of your content to train generative AI and have no plans to do so.” However, Bluesky’s robots.txt does not block crawlers from Google, OpenAI, and other companies, meaning external firms may still scrape its public data.
Bluesky also clarified that it uses AI only for content moderation to help filter harmful posts and in its algorithmic Discover feed. It emphasized that none of these systems are trained on user-generated content. As the platform has recently surpassed 17 million users, it is bolstering its moderation team to handle increased spam, scams, and trolling activities.
Meanwhile, Meta’s competing platform, Threads, reported over 15 million new signups this month and is testing custom feed features—something Bluesky already offers. Unlike Bluesky, Meta has acknowledged training its AI models on nearly all publicly posted user data since 2007.
