Eugen RochkoWe've published our new terms of service for mastodon.social and mastodon.online today, effective July 1. The same template will be available as an option to other servers in the upcoming #Mastodon 4.4 update. There are no changes to our policies or operations, just clarifications, e.g. if you upload content to be displayed to other users, you give us permission to display it to other users, but you keep all rights to it. We also explicitly prohibit scraping, even though it was never allowed.
Dallas Groot@Gargron I literally just read it before seeing your post on here
MOVED to: @@Gargron Privacy Policy

I think there should be a footer URL to your TOS. Because on your footer you only list your Privacy Policy.

@Gargron
I found it manually typing in the URL, but it should be found somewhere easily on your website. It is not https://mastodon.social/terms-of-service

Ehay2k@Linux There is currently a bug with displaying the link in the footer before the effective date of the terms. It will be fixed as soon as possible.
webhat@Gargron what happens when you want to delete something isn't documented in the ToS, which is causing some commotion in some circles. Can you elaborate about the withdrawal of consent?
Timo@Gargron I got two mails from mastodon.social, 13:37 (😎) and 15:09. Why? Both are mixed German and English.
@timoka There was an issue with sending the e-mail more than once by accident today due to a software glitch. We're working on preventing that from occurring again.
Puncha Not SeeEugen, a million thanks. 🙏🏽💕

Juhis@Gargron Why is Mastodon taking the anti-consumerist approach with the arbitration clauses?

Alexandre Dulaunoy@Gargron So no more indexing, no more archiving, just dying content. You don’t even allow archive.org to crawl it?

Ike Seblon@Gargron Hi! Thanks for all the work! Regarding the pre-arbitration section of our new TOA, in the passage "The Notice to the Instance shall be sent to N/A with a paper copy to N/A" who is "N/A?"
Also, can anyone briefly explain the reasoning of "perpetuity" in the data-retention clauses?
Dan 🌻@Gargron 🥺 can the new terms of service include more characters for the toot box, pretty please 👉 🥺 👈
Thomas Svensson 🖖As a new member of Team @fosstodon, I'm a little curious about the clarification on scraping in this release.
In particular if it also covers doing it through the federation API. For example, Threads just improved interpretability with the Fediverse.
What prevents them for using that as a *clever* scraper to feed Meta's LLM training?

Attached: 1 image ⚠️ #fediblock El nodo mastodon.manalejandro.com y en concreto el usuario [email protected] está realizando scraping del Fediverso mediante ActivityPub. Lo utiliza para alimentar su IA y rastrear contenido en el Fediverso sin consentimiento. 🚨 No es la primera vez que lo hace. 👉 A los admins: es recomendable bloquear este servidor para evitar que vuelva a recolectar datos de tus usuarios. #FediBlock #FediBlock_es
