You’re free to feel how you want to feel, but it’s worth talking about how this might affect existing and future platform development for the fediverse

Large corporations have a knack for getting around (or straight up ignoring) restrictions that stop others. Just look at how they profit from existing licensed content, and pay a tiny fee when someone finally wins a legal case against them. I think the commenter above is also saying that it would suck if a change kills off smaller dev projects and makes it so only giant corporations can do it.

Not that this is the wrong idea, just that it’s worth thinking about. On top of ads, other areas licensing may help with are privacy and use in training data for LLMs
