A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Well, they could do that regardless of whether they're running an ActivityPub service. Nothing's stopping them from a technical viewpoint
Nothing stopping them, except, you know, the law... They can certainly display content that was not marked for public display. They will then proceed to get sued out of existence... If they do this automatically I'll just privately post a music file with copyright protected music. Which is perfectly fine to do if it is indeed hidden from everyone. If they then publicly post it that's on them and now I get to see the Music Industry fight the Zuck :D
