Scraping user data to train AI models is a growing concern, and Mastodon has responded by banning the use of its content for such purposes.

      I agree, but I’m glad they did it anyway.

        Fair, there is no reason not to.

      It potentially gives them grounds for a lawsuit. Probably not but potentially. There’s no reason not to explicitly deny permission. They have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

      Gives them legal standing against scraping for if ot is needed in the future.
