YSK Meta is also a threat to the privacy of fediverse users, if there are fediverse instances that remain federated with Meta.

Isn't this information that can be just as meaningfully scraped from the Fediverse as it is? And if they truly need to operate an instance to scrape that data whats to stop them from simply operating an instance and failing to advertise that it's owned and operated by Meta?
