They already can, everything you do on Mastadon is already public.
I don't believe it is legal to just scrape data from other servers to use in analytic advertisement data. If it was, then why even build an app at all? If we are the product, then why even do the other work and build your own website?
It is legal. It's all public info, anyone can scrape it.
So why you are telling me then is we should abolish Facebook and get some real privacy laws, and leave the internet.
The new internet will be in the woods in the middle of nowhere dancing naked on mushrooms! It's the only place corporations won't follow
You jest but that's exactly what it should be
No jest, it's already one of my favourite activities
