Title says it. Apparently lemmy devs are not concerned with such worldly matters as privacy, or respecting international privacy laws.

if it was any other social media like reddit doing this, everyone would be up in arms about it. no one is forced to be on reddit either. we're on lemmy bc we value our privacy (no ads, tracking, etc.) so it should be held to the same standard too and not given a free pass.

"We" aren't on Lemmy for any one uniform reason. We aren't even all on Lemmy, I'm on a kbin instance for example.

I, personally, understand how federation and ActivityPub operate and so I'm not surprised by this. I expected it, I accept it, it's just the way the world works. When I say something in public I lose control over who will hear it or how long it will last, and any laws that mandate I should have that control are just a placebo or illusion in the grand scheme of things.

fair enough. allow me to rephrase, whatever reason we're on the fediverse, it should be held to the same standard. for context, the initial commenter said something along the lines of "you don't have to be here"
