There’s a core disagreement about whether making a public post means consenting to it being used for all purposes without consent

Wouldn't this better be served by implementing per-post licensing, rather than mixing federation into it? After all, most of the real issue is people not accepting the fact that, regardless of federation, bad actors can do bad things with their content. Federation is not gonna change that, but at least licensing posts would allow you a legal avenue to pursue, which currently doesn't seem to exist.
