How would you expunge such an actor though? Can’t literally anyone setup an instance and get a stream of content by design? Without the shady instance participating / posting data you’d never know would you?

I would say, if a company would do that legit, they would require a lot of agreements with other instances. If they do it under the "radar" like a sleeper instance, then we dont know and we will never know.

No agreements with instances necessary. All of this data s free and open ripe for using

Yeah I was going to point that there’s nothing to my knowledge required… no t&c or anything… not even data processing agreement which is annoying imho.

Yes, bigger concern is them cutting access to gen pop, which is where this is going.

They want us to generate useful information, then turn around sell it to other people... they call this AI 🤡

Most of internet is already gutted...
