So many responses to this are about 'privacy'. But anybody in the fediverse should be well aware of being seen by Unknowns. The key issue, I would say, is - why are 'we' not doing more creative scraping & analysis, to show 'us' the shape of ourselves? The Big data are ours, why don't we exploit this commons more, with our own user-facing analytics? Attempting to enforce private ownership of data isn't necessarily the most beneficial way to deal with this emergent capability?
