Maven, a new social network backed by OpenAI's Sam Altman, found itself in a controversy today when it imported a huge amount of posts and profiles from the Fediverse, and then ran AI analysis to alter the content.

That's why I keep saying it's pointless to defederate corpos. They'll just scrape everything before you notice.

Defederation is more about not being flooded with 1000x more users than the Fediverse currently has

So far we only have a corpo fedi-twitter in form of Threads. In that case non-corpo instance user has to specifically follow someone before their content is federated so that sounds like a bit overblown issue.

Seems pretty easy for any corporation to setup something like https://lemmy-federate.com/ but for Maston/IceShrimp/Misskey accounts to federate the important corporate accounts to the targeted non-corpo instances

There's no real harm in that unless they spam, at which point those accounts can be banned which shouldn't overwhelm moderators.
