Someone will have to start making private repositories public to show that GitHub can't be trusted for companies to leave.

What if it's private, but used as training data for copilot, and can only be accessed publicly through prompt injection?

Bad, but not the same, IMO. Microslop could shove it under the rug as a glitch. Oh wait... they would do that in this case too. Yeah, maybe it'd have to be more severe than that, but I don't know what's more severe to a private company than getting their IP leaked because of slopcoding.
