告诉HN：YC公司抓取GitHub活动，向用户发送垃圾邮件
嗨，HN，
我最近注意到一家YC公司（Run Anywhere，W26）给我发了以下邮件：
发件人：Aditya <aditya@buildrunanywhere.org>
主题：Mikołaj，我想你会喜欢这个
[省略]
嗨，Mikołaj，
我找到了你的GitHub，觉得你可能会喜欢我们正在开发的项目。
[省略]
我还收到了另一家AI公司Voice.AI（似乎与YC无关）发来的大量类似邮件。这些邮件表明，这些公司会抓取人们的GitHub活动，如果他们注意到用户在其业务领域的代码库中贡献内容，就会在未获得用户同意的情况下向这些用户发送营销邮件。我的猜测是，他们使用提交元数据来实现这一目的。这包括GDPR下的收件人（也就是我）。
我已经向这两家机构提出了投诉，目前还没有得到回复。
我刚刚就此问题联系了GitHub和YC伦理委员会，如果我收到回复会在这里更新。

Hi HN,<p>I recently noticed that an YC company (Run ANywhere, W26) sent me the following email:<p>From: Aditya <aditya@buildrunanywhere.org><p>Subject: Mikołaj, think you'd like this<p>[snip]<p>Hi Mikołaj,<p>I found your GitHub and thought you might like what we're building.<p>[snip]<p>I have also received a deluge of similar emails from another AI company, Voice.AI (doesn't seem to be YC affiliated). These emails indicate that those companies scrape people's Github activity, and if they notice users contributing to repos in their field of business, send marketing emails to those users without receiving their consent. My guess is that they use commit metadata for this purpose. This includes recipients under the GDPR (AKA me).<p>I've sent complaints to both organizations, no response so far.<p>I have just contacted both Github and YC Ethics on this issue, I'll update here if I get a response.
