It looks like Meta could use the #fediverse to collect metadata on… a lot of people. In my opinion, it’s similar to the Facebook Pixel - which allows Meta to collect data on users who are off its platforms.
This could seem like no big deal (and I guess it could be), but let’s face it: Meta isn’t exactly #privacy friendly and has been accused (with proof) of abusing collected information.
