Aren't companies much more tightly controlled than a random dude who hosts a mastodon server though ?

- orange_fritter 4y agoEvery company is different, but anybody with access to the database or tools can do whatever they want. There might be a papertrail(that can sometimes be edited if it's centralized and you have sufficient privileges) but there is much less "regulation" than you think. Nobody from the government comes over like some kind of health inspector to make sure Employee 93457X isn't spying on people.

- rsynnott 4y agoI mean... in theory? But see the history of social media privacy scandals. Really, Mastodon shouldn't call the feature DM at all, IMO. It's effectively just a normal message with special visibility rule.
