@emberquill@tech.lgbt @trekman10@union.place @joshbressers@infosec.exchange Grabbing everything from your profile and everything from your post and creating a “digital imprint”. Taking this imprint and matching it up with everything else they have. Selling the information to a data broker who will do the same. You not having a “say” in the matter since it is a public posting. That’s the first concern. Then the next concern which is even bigger, is the “embrace, extend, extinguish” method that Microsoft is known for. Large corporations do this for increasing “market share” which means they do it for money.

@simplenomad@rigor-mortis.nmrc.org @emberquill@tech.lgbt @joshbressers@infosec.exchange my point is, they can take digital fingerprints now. I also am not sure if defederate-on-site will prevent EEE from happening considering how many instances have said they wouldn't, and now how there's instances saying they'll defederate those ones too. It has always been a matter of time, since it is FOSS, before companies make their way here. I do think that #ActivityPub is structured in such a way to be naturally resistant to it.
