Here’s a very different take on Threads by a Fosstodon admin.

    Agreed it would be trivial for Meta to obtain the posts. But I think the concern of most people here isn’t Meta obtaining the posts, it’s Meta monetizing them through ads and training. Would it not be in our best interest to try to prevent this?

        Oddly enough, my understanding is that in many jurisdictions it is a matter explicitly asserting these rights. Aside from that, requesting that they be enforced when they are violated.

          Somehow I don’t think many instance admins have resources or knowhow to drive legal processes against Meta?

          And while a disclaimer on the instance page might have some effect, the Federation protocol makes it hard to avoid getting a copy of the said content in your cache.

            Agreed that instance admins might not be expected to handle this sort of thing.

            Agreed that it is easy to get a copy of the content.

            I think we might handle this best as a cumulative platform and community.
