When you agree to your instance's Privacy Policy (https://mastodon.social/privacy-policy) you generally grant them that right:
"Your public content may be downloaded by other servers in the network. Your public and followers-only posts are delivered to the servers where your followers reside, and direct messages are delivered to the servers of the recipients, in so far as those followers or recipients reside on a different server than this."

I'm confused ... how does that make the bridge different?
Wouldn't the bridge simply count as "other servers in the network"?
If so, and I'm not missing something, the issue here isn't bsky but that it's such a well known entity that it raises alarms about what are intrinsic privacy/safety issues built into ActivityPub ... ?
AFAICT, the bridge operates exclusively through follows not indexing etc.
