@J12t sadly, that's like saying google, don't be evil... Yep:(

@lps Google saying something is a unilateral thing by them. We saying "we can be friends but you need to behave, otherwise bye" is something different IMHO. It may not lead to a friendship with Meta, but perhaps others.

@J12t my take is that Meta clearly doesn't follow rules and that's an objective fact...asking them to behave is just being naive.

@lps You are misunderstanding what I'm saying. Two steps: 1) clearly articulate the rules for everybody 2) Determine who does and does not follow the rules at any point in time. Including but not limited to Meta.

The rules may, for example, state that you must not have been fined by a major regulator for privacy violations in the last N years.

I think this is ultimately a much more productive, and perhaps just, approach than simply banning company X.

@J12t yes, clearly articulating what is or isn't considered acceptable in the fediverse is a good thing to do, and in this case automatically disqualifies Meta as a trusted participant...which is why the automatic block is warranted based on their previous, and continued behavior.
