No you fucking idiot, it has a open API, anyone has been able to extract as much data as they want for any purpose and thats good. Same as all the actual fediverse platforms. The thing that should get people worried is that Bluesky has the power to universally make and enforce this and any decision they want because its a shitty centralized platform like any other social media site.
It’s that interoperability of unique instances that makes the Fediverse resistant to scraping. The posts are all public, but crawling it all and categorizing everything is probably like untangling a cotton ball.
Yeah these people are just stupid.

Or you can host your own instance and let the servers send you all their data (instances can still defederate)
