Very surprised this hasn&#39;t blown up yet. But in case you haven&#39;t heard, admins of so-far unnamed &quot;popular&quot; federated instances are feeding fedi users&#39; post history to OpenAI for &quot;political ideology analysis&quot; under the delusion that this is an appropriate moderation practice. Surely there are others who might have a problem with this? @piefedadmin has the details: https://join.piefed.social/2026/05/04/ai-assisted-moderation-in-the-fediv...

Social Web Working Group membership discussion &gt; Tantek: I also want to propose we reach out to Meta. They contributed to the CG, they implemented Threads, they contributed to tests. https://github.com/w3c/socialwg/blob/main/meetings/2026/2026-03-06-WG-kickoff.md #FediPact

@Mastodon White Mastodon&#39;s play for institutions is understandable in the context of its &quot;good-growth&quot; ideology, it&#39;s also indicative of a certain euro-naivete about the true nature of government. Trying to catalyze more institutional involvement in the fediverse will also inevitably invite unwanted scrutiny and interest by politicians to control, censor, surveil and age-gate the platform(s). It&#39;s unfortunate that these pipe dreams about &quot;a bi...

@thenexusofprivacy This is indeed a positive signal. That said, as long as an enemy element is still on the working group, ongoing vigilance is indicated. It&#39;s not all that surprising that they&#39;re getting &quot;bored&quot; with ActivityPub. The regulatory threat is waning with the fascist capture of the US and possible in-progress collapse of GDPR, so the need to openwash in this particular manner is no longer as acute.
