Threads' New Terms & Conditions Affects the Fediverse
wedistribute.org
Threads, Meta's new microblogging platform, is updating its terms to focus on data collection from "Third Party Users".

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.

        Hi, I agree that there needs to be discussion.

        But let’s be honest here. If meta made a lemmy/mastodon instance we would probably defederate them as well since every bit of data is for their financial gain and nothing else.

        I don’t see how the worlds master manipulator and anti trust poster child is even remotely worth discussing about. We have established time and time again that „meta bad“. Why would we now not just accept the fact?

        not because of any existing tangible evidence in this circumstance

        Oh, we’re defederating exactly because of tangible evidence that Meta steals every information it can about you. I personally stripped Meta almost entirely out of my life, I definitely don’t want them crawling back just because someone else wants to use Threads.

        And if you’re here and pretending to care about data privacy at least try to do the bare minimum in understanding how the Fediverse works.

        Oh, I do. I’m my own instance admin, I work as a senior architect and grasped the concept of Fediverse quite fast.

            If you’re going to quote me I’d appreciate if you didn’t cut out relevant parts of it to fit your argument.

            Sure, edited the comment to include it, it doesn’t change my argument at all.

            The “you” in my comment was a generalized “you”, not you specifically.

            Hard to distinguish.
