I worked for the IT department at my university and we had meetings about this around then!

Honestly, in the decades since then, a lot of devs have gotten a real sense of entitlement to data. Information wants to be free, etc. Any unencrypted data was fair game in our minds. And, indeed, we saw our users as data-seekers, not the people making content. (Who should be grateful for any attention, etc.)

#Friendica users may want to consider making a feature request that their platform conform to web standards. I don't think its a platform modeled on extractive consumption, so this ought to be noncontroversial, in principle. (Or maybe my impression of the platform's philosophy is skewed because I only follow people I respect.)
