I think it’s really important to reply to comments like this to raise awareness that #Fediverse is absolutely not outside the reach of #bigdata collection.

In fact, given how the core protocol is set up with few privacy controls, it arguably makes #Mastodon content even more likely to be vacuumed up by big data.

People need to realize that they have only limited control over their content here. Anything they put in is effectively broadcast to the world, no matter privacy settings, and if you’re worried about big data, well, big data operators are happy to vacuum that up.
