 @spaduf @jdp23 @riomccloud @brianvastag @Mastodon You seem to be doing fine. These are all valid issues.  Even if the owner retains the copyright (which they probably do, although IANAL) Meta can use it for a wide variety of purposes without violating copyright. And they have hundreds of lawyers and budget for paying billions of dollars in fines, so even if they theoretically *can't* use it, they still will if they think it's worth it. @mastodonmigration @spaduf @riomccloud @brianvastag @Mastodon @jdp23 @spaduf @riomccloud @brianvastag @Mastodon Indeed. Under no illusions about the effectiveness of any defensive measures. Never-the-less it is better to take what measures one can. Providing notice is one such measure. |

To be clear I am concerned mostly about boosts from mastodon to threads being associated with existing ad profiles based on instagram/facebook accounts. We already know that they do this sort of account association and I really do have a feeling that at least Zuck is egomaniacal enough to think that they can and should go about monetizing the information in that way.
All that said if any of my previous post implies that I have totally misunderstood what you are saying, I apologize. It is late and I am stoned.
