I don't get the problem. It's just syncing public information back and forth. I mean, the information is fully public for anyone to access. If you mind who accesses it, you shouldn't make it public.

Does that mean every TV show broadcast over the air, every song on the radio, and every book in a public library is now "free" to pirate on the Internet because they were made publicly available? There's a reason that social media companies include clauses in their EULA that posting content gives them (and only them unless otherwise noted) the right to reproduce that content.

It does indeed outside of the united IP holders of america.

In the free world, you can record any tv or radio program that is freely available for your personal consumption.

Welcome to the actual land of the free.

Edit: answering another comment of yours. You can absolutely repost the twitter, reddit and whatnot post of anyone. It is paywalled stuff that you are not allowed to share.

How is reposting content to another social media platform with over a million users "personal consumption"?

Thats not what I said. I was answering to this:

The answer to that is yes, at least if you‘re not living in a corpo hellscape.

How is that any different from content from user@smallinstance.mastodon being followed by a single individual from mastodon.social?
