@emberquill@tech.lgbt @simplenomad@rigor-mortis.nmrc.org @joshbressers@infosec.exchange defederating wouldn't prevent that. Them having a service in the fediverse doesn't give them more access to our information than they already have now. #ActivityPub isn't private.

@trekman10@union.place @simplenomad@rigor-mortis.nmrc.org @joshbressers@infosec.exchange Defederating doesn't prevent Meta from reading data, however federation does open up additional avenues for Meta to violate privacy and online safety beyond just reading our data. Serving targeted ads to people who don't even use their website, for example. Enabling stalking and harassment and all the other nasty behaviors that instance moderators try to prevent, because let's face it: we already know their moderation will be inadequate. And so on.
