The Meta NDA as a trojan horse to the Fediverse
Could the Meta NDA be used as a trojan horse? Anything Meta discloses to a developer/admin could be legally used against them if they acted upon the information. Not just leak of information shared, but modifications to Mastodon or Pixelfed that go against Meta's pursuit of success in the Fediverse.
If you are offered a meeting with Meta and are required to sign an NDA, be sure to read it fully so that you understand what your obligations are and what freedoms and friends you give up.
Also pro tip: Don’t meet with Meta. They aren’t good people.
Yeah just tell 'em to fuck off.
been seeing a lot of drama in the fediverse about whether to federate or de-federate with Meta when they join
does SDF have a position/opinion on this?
Probably safe to wait until this is more than hypothetical to have an official position, yeah?
Just don't give up any of your freedom, never.
