Fun fact: Copilot gives you no way to ignore sensitive files with API keys, passwords, DB credentials, etc.: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/11254#discussi... So by default you send all this to Microsoft by opening your IDE.
Fun fact: you shouldn't have sensitive files with API keys, passwords, DB credentials, etc. in your repo

I actually don’t seem to have this option on my GitHub settings page, which leads me to wonder if this only applies to Americans.
I actually did have to manually disable this from Germany, so it might be a different reason you don't have it?

It breaks GDPR easily: GDPR enforces you to comply with opt-out by default, no workaround by prefilling before hitting submit. While some think this applies only to personal data, then yes. But it takes only one line of code to use my phone number for testing while I test locally a register form in the application I'm developing. Once it gets sent to Copilot I can threaten with legal action if they are not taking it…
Has there ever been a GDPR fine that actually exhausted all applicable legal challenges within a sufficiently short delay from initial violation to actually matter?
Short delay: depends on your DPA, I doubt any country is fast enough. On the other hand, this is the legitimate interest of GitHub, so it would require investigation, maybe even litigation.
This is terrifying. Github was the one provider I did not expect to make such an action. We're now playing whack-a-mole with vendors to try and ensure that our company IP doesn't end up being used to train a model.
There is no Github anymore in any meaningful way. It's Microsoft. Github doesn't have a CEO anymore.
