Maybe we have some bias on this topic, but I had the same thought. Maven is such a well known tool in IT, that I'm surprised they just created a social network with the same name. Until they get a bit famous this won't be good for SEO.
If we hit these AI companies with targeted suing, like how Scientology got their way with the IRS, maybe we then they can listen to not steal our shit.
The MPAA and RIAA have created all these laws and used our own government againat us. Maybe we can use these same laws and do the same.
Seems if the messages are sent in an inherently insecure fashion, all one would need to do is set up an instance that purposefully does not filter out all the things it’s supposed to be kind/competent enough to filter out, and boom it has everything.
It's not "inherently insecure" at least not to that degree. (Once could argue that lack of E2EE is insecure.) If you stand up an unrelated instance you shouldn't be able to access private messages that don't relate to an account on your instance. So only bugs in your instance, or your conversation partner's instance, will be able to leak those messages.
