How about no?

You're way overstepping with this, poisoning the entire ActivityPub ecosystem.

Let me break this down for you...

https://bajsicki.com/blog/loops-video-terms/

In short: if you really intend to federate, respect your users and their data.

Implementing federation while keeping these terms is a severe breach of trust, and would poison the entirety of the network in an way which will cripple ActivityPub, and undermine the very foundation of what AP stands for with regard to privacy, data ownership, and control over what we post to the network.

Hopefully that's not your intention. Is it?

  Regardless of what happens with TikTok, I'm still focused on shipping https://loops.video to the world, and open sourcing the entire platform! History has proven that technology like this is best used when the people have control, and can build their own communities. #LongLiveLoops
