Embed Notice

@jik@federate.social This is not entirely true because of Authorized Fetch. By spreading my posts from your instance to another service, I am no longer in control over those posts in any way. I can't block individual instances on there for instance.

What they're doing is a violation of the GDPR. They are a data broker who doesn't ask for consent. When I signed up on this instance, I consented to my posts federating with other instances, but I didn't consent to those instances abusing my posts. They still have to adhere to the GDPR and if they don't, they are violating my rights.

I don't generally like arguing from legality, but I think the GDPR is good, so in this case it made sense.
