They don't sell your data...Is this guaranteed though? Anyone can grab this data and, for example, use it to train a model, no?

Which data do you mean?
Joel P.@FediTips@social.growyourown.services This :) All threads.

How would an instance admin sell a public thread?
Surely LLMs etc will just slurp it without asking permission?
Joel P.@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Yes, good point. Monetization of any kind isn't done by anyone hosting.
Thanks. I tend to think worst case in this age of surveillance economy.

It's totally fair to ask about risk of data sales, and a reasonable attitude 🙂
As far as I know it hasn't happened, but of course there's always a risk online.
One thing that's really good about the Fedi is it doesn't ask for more personal data than it needs, there's no requirement for a phone number or real name or personal photo etc.
