Welcome to the Internet. It’s always been like that.
- lkjdsklf 3y agoI mostly agree with you. but if I'm posting to facebook/twitter, I have privacy settings that they legally have to adhere to. Of course this doesn't prevent all scraping/copying/whatnot/whathaveyou, but it's a lot harder to scrape a private profile than something on the fediverse. Most of these sites have a vested interest in preventing scraping and the like. I have some control even if it's not great. Fediverse I don't even have an idea off where my data is much less what their security/privacy practices are.
