@vruz @Arcaik @mastodonmigration @snarfed.org @snarfed What I am saying is that if you applied 'consent' consistently, Mastodon would turn into an unusable mess. Other Fediverse servers use your data in tons of ways that, legally, are done without any of your consent.

@vruz @sam @Arcaik @mastodonmigration @snarfed.org @snarfed you consent to the data being shared by posting it [with public visibility] (otherwise why would you post it).
Saying this is illegal is like saying your mail provider is doing something illegal when you are sending a mail because it 'shares your data' with different mail servers along the way.
But this is what you ask them to do.

Your instance admin should obviously be able to defederate the bridge. (And you to block )

@sam @vruz @Arcaik @mastodonmigration @snarfed.org @snarfed Surely by joining and using the service you are implicitly giving your consent, since that's obviously the very basis of how it works?

If you walk down a footpath in a town you are implicitly consenting to other people being able to see you and be there too.

I have always thought of social media as a place.
