Mastodon App is just the tip of the iceberg of Eugen’s mismanagement. In 2020, he has allegedly taken over €60,000 to partner with the European digital surveillance data collection firm EUnomia. EUnomia’s operations are better summarized by this post by paulfree14 on librenet.de. Eugen is literally selling out Fediverse users to data collection agencies, not exclusively limited to users on Mastodon instances as they scrape public posts. EUnomia has in the past sold this data to large advertising companies, namely Google, as well as law enforcement agencies. This poses a risk to marginalized groups who are targeted by police on a daily basis.
Jesus christ, I’ll have to get the hell out of mastodon.social soon
It took them 2 sentences to go from “has allegedly taken” to “is literally selling out”. It’s important to keep in mind that most of what you publish on fediverse is public data and can be scraped by any interested party without paying anyone.

Is it clear if he sold data from federated servers as well?
