@snarfed.org@snarfed.org @activitypubblueskybridge @fedidevs @fediversenews To the people on this thread who talk about GDPR violations: I’d be interested in the specific clause in the GDPR that you believe a bridge like this violates. Curious.

Johannes, There isn’t one - they’re talking out of their ass.
They’re just making noise and emotionally distressed to discover that this is how the #Fediverse currently works, and always has worked - and it’s not just the #ActivityPub portions of the Fediverse, or even the Fediverse - it’s the entire #Internet…
“If you affect a public post, you have no expectation of privacy”.
For those who still feel some sense of having been offended, I welcome them to unplug their computers and toss their iPhones and Androids into the trash. That’s really their only option, and they’ll come to that realization some day, maybe, and it is of no consequence for anyone else in the world if they don’t.

@tallship The counterpoint is that people generally respect CC licenses (weakly) attached to their creations. (For people != the AI crowd)
We need something similar to that — well, inspired by — for posts. I’m sure Ryan would gladly honor “do not propagate to for-profit entities”, for example, if it could be attached to a post.

Yes, we do try to respect the Creative Commons licenses - it’s a great thing.
And statistically, studies have revealed that we also do our very best to respect the wishes of publishers who rebuke and refuse to allow their works in a distribution channel where items are DRM encoded.
People should have more faith in the intentions of folks trying to do good, methinks :)
There will always be bad actors
