After months of brainstorming and scheming, Meta is getting closer to releasing a Twitter clone to the world, according to a new report from The Verge. The company’s pitch is simple. Execs claim they will offer “a platform that is sanely run.”

You all may have already heard, but Meta is gearing up to release a Twitter clone (possibly called Threads). The weird part is that they intend to use ActivityPub.

What are your thoughts? And what are the odds that they get de-federated in most instances?

    Sooner rather than later “we” will have to deal with the legal implications of federated systems like the ones around ActivityPub. If not Meta, OpenAI could just as easily tap into the data. And if not OpenAI, then someone else. Or all of them.

    So while it might seem like a solution to just defederate these players, it will effectively be a cat and mouse game. So there have to be legally binding rules, so we can at least protect the data in western countries.
