♢MASSIVE Topic in question:
Q. What's to stop or thwart Capturing & Monetizing Mastodon / Social Media / #Fediverse or #Activitypub content? (Like any other content)
https://mastodon.social/@TryshHQ/109946153272608647
Quick Answer:
●User or Mastodon adds text to each post disclaimer / legal notice:
○"Not for commercial usage
○ Permission to monetise denied
○ Not for commercial or 3rd party copy
○ CC-BY-NC OR CC-BY-NC-SA (Share-Alike)"...
○ Or own "Terms and Conditions" pointing to ypost with public url (like pinned post) to put all the above and legal implications back up by Mastodon lawyers for infringement?
■ Basically some thing(s) are needed to stop this happening)
(more on that below as general background to this topic)
1●Everything goes right back to original sins [the online type!] and how things took off in the first place after modems... commercialising us / mining
2●Now it's the time to undo / pre-defend all what we know is happening about that construct / model in any of the creation we do online, so our thoughts and human-learning get further than machine-learning and profit making. All that is bad is corresponding to and proportionate to that even with the best online content.
Comments welcome about the above disclaimers or warnings towards aggressive miners.
Many can't see or imagine how bad / immoral / unserving business is, and how even more of it is actually worth avoiding / less feeding and perpetuating l£$$ into existance
@skanman yes I was thinking about that... and would be more "ok" with it if wasn't for the other stuff much more than that by recording everything and then re-using for even more totalitarian uses.
I guess you know and no need list - but those who generally don't mind / don't know, they can't see or imagine how bad / immoral / unserving business is, and how even more of it is actually worth avoiding / less feeding and perpetuating l£$$ into existance

@freeschool I don't think monopolization of data is the same as totalitarianism, I get they control the largest market share for data profiling but think about this. They won't be top dog forever, no tech company ever has and no tech company ever will. I do miss my BlackBerry 😂. The problem is like a leviathan, the users don't care, and the companies will innovate ways of taking advantage. As AI is percolating into mainstream uiux this will only grow and shift again in a new direction. To fix it will require data usage awareness of the masses, which will require adaptation of the education systems on a global scale. Unfortunately though the basic human desire to be competitive will still drive people to show off their tail feathers that they're achieving more than their peers and that will dump roughly the same amounts of personal data. To achieve this via regulations would require funding comparable to the revenues in the current lobby streams in the political arena and how could that happen without the same marketing engine that creates the problem to begin with? I don't think it can.. 🤷

@skanman ok interesting and quick thoughts as I'm offline mostly.
Interested kind of how it's not true as all companies are as extention of and registered / enlisted by state and to work for it. Therefore changing company or faces, and top dog or not does not matter. Hope I got you right and always reread msgs when I get back to occasionally say 'oh i get it' :)
Fun even if wrong I hope.
2nd half need to think on more and msg back soon on that.
And Blackberry hehey! What did you like best about it?
"Google will still index your Fediverse content when it appears in the timelines of other sites..."
@freeschool I don't think people are gonna do that because the general population really doesn't care if Google makes money by indexing their content.. infact that will only make their content more popular so they'll probably be happy about it.. me personally, I wouldn't post something publicly I don't want others to see
