What’s to stop a company from standing up their own instance?
If they only create an admin account and then federate to every instance, now they have everyone’s content.
I’m suddenly realizing the anti-AI blurbs people add to their comments now make sense.

IANAL, but the way the federation by necessity copies your posts and information to every instance there is and to be able to do that it all needs to be under a licence that allows it to happen, those blurbs almost certainly are legally entirely meaningless. The only thing I can think of is claiming a non-commercial use violations, but that could put every instance that runs on donations under fire as well.
