Gregory's Server@evan My concern is how these proprietary services will use the data from federated instances. An upcoming proprietary service, Threads, worries me. When they receive activity from ActivityPub, do the received data become their own, thus becoming applicable to their Privacy Policy and data processing?
I’m in no way against it, but I am skeptical how some of the bigger players will handle data and respect what data are not their own.
@LMAOYEEN so, when you publish a web page, people can link to it on Facebook. That doesn't mean Facebook owns your website, and it doesn't mean they have carte blanche to do what they want with it.
When you let someone on another server follow you, that means you're giving their server permission to deliver your posts to that person. That's it. No other permission is granted or implied.
