With #Threads slowly integrating with #ActivityPub, I'm curious how my data will travel:
- As a Mastodon user, does my data end up on servers run by Meta when I follow someone through Threads?
- As a Mastodon user, does my data end up on servers run by Meta when someone follows my Mastodon account using their Threads account?
- Assuming Meta will collect data on me through Threads, what can they do with that data?
- If I want Meta to prevent collecting data on me, what can I do?
#Fediverse/#Mastodon is, by design, very open with basically no privacy protections.
It's a public broadcast model, with almost everything you put on here being subject to being broadcast to all other instances that are interested.
If you want to control where your content goes, don't use Fediverse.
It really is that stark.
I assume #Meta has already been vacuuming up all of this content we've been broadcasting here.
