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.

Defederating won’t stop this. Defederating means you don’t pull their data, not the other way around.
That would require blocking their servers/domains/IP adresses at the firewall level I guess? Preferably taken from a curated list like NextDNS does?
Partially. It’d help a little bit. But if you federate with another instance that doesn’t block it, that data will still get out.
Essentially the protocol would have to be updated to carry a blacklist that all instances would adhere to, but basically via an honor system.
The only method that could truly protect your data would be whitelisting, but that would severely hamper and fracture the fediverse.
