This is 100% FUD. The content of your profile, and the posts you send out to the world are not supposed to be private. What's supposed to be private is:
Etc. etc. These are the privacy issues you should be concerned with.
There are two options when you communicate in a wide channel way that the fediverse implements. A single-owner gate keeps for everyone, aka Facebook, or it's all public. The former means your posts are owned by tht entity and they control your data. In the later your data is held by no one. Then at least, you are not an exploitable commodity. This at least means the platform is protected from a class of abuse driven by ownership.
