TLDR: While Fediverse won’t directly serve you ads, anonymous bad actors other than Meta can save, redistribute, and even dox you for any information you post here. Anything you post here can/will remain forever on some malicious instance that doesn’t honor deletion requests. So be careful!

    Hilarious, as if microsoft, reddit, facebook, google or any other corp would be any more trustworthy/save or would actually delete anything on request, especially now since they can train their LLMs with the data.

      Unfortunately there are people who will trust you if you’re well meaning.
      Whether or not you have any inkling of how to do what they trust you to do.
      Or any intention…

      There are laws that you can enforce by suing them. It’s probably not going to be the case here

        … i am still waiting on those laws actually being created or enforced (depending on the country) for the last few decades, at least to a degree that they wont be completely ignored. 🙃

        That is true of literally any social media; Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, there is nothing preventing someone from screenshotting a post, or a web crawler from archiving it, and then keeping that information after it is deleted from the original source.
