Threads will only be setting an minimum standard for TOS across the Fediverse if people on the Fediverse tend to care what Meta thinks. Which I'm not sure they do.
We've already seen significant calls for minimal TOS on Fediverse and they haven't really worked.
I don't think Threads will change that.

@lauren governmental interference in Fediverse is a different matter than Threads, though.
@volkris @violetathena Keep in mind that eventually regulators will start paying attention to Mastodon, probably starting with the largest sites. Of particular note right now in the UK, of course.
