@giuseppe_aceto@scholar.social @mahmoudajawad@mastodon.online @clifff@shakedown.social @Gargron@mastodon.social You seem here to be describing the things that Facebook ask users of ITS instance to sign up to allowing, but they can't impose those conditions on people using other instances.
But anyway, point was different and simpler: Mastodon simply isn't a private messaging service, and was never intended to be.

@mike@sauropods.win @mahmoudajawad@mastodon.online @clifff@shakedown.social @Gargron@mastodon.social Your straw man is that mastodon is not for private conversations. Nobody said the contrary (hence a straw man). The simple point that you are (intentionally?) confounding was clear in the toot you replied to: the *app* by Meta requires permissions for personal data collection from the user's phone. Doesn't matter what Meta's instance federates with: you give Meta your (public) communications AND your private identifying info. Hope this clarified the issue.
