This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

    Ostensibly, yes. However, as a company whose business model is primarily predicated on sale of personal data and analytics, this does create something of a conflict of interest, especially because of Meta’s extensive involvement in surveillance capitalism.

    Per the article, I really like Mike Macgirvin’s stance of “I’ll give you the bare minimum of data to make basic interactions work, but not one thing more.”

      I mean yeah, I get the implications there, but all I’m saying is that they wouldn’t be able to federate without the info so it makes sense.
