Bridgy Fed, a bridge between the Fediverse and other protocols such as BlueSky, is using an opt-out model and that raises a lot of discussion (github.com)

That raises a point, what is the process regarding DMCA and GDPR? There's no mechanism to delete posts via scraped content.

And neither via federation like in AP. It's a bit of a hole that should the technology get truly big will eventually come to a head.

We already had lawsuits in Germany related to linking to copyright infringing content, it's not a big stretch that if you scrape or federate a link that could infringe, you are in turn infringing.

But with AP, you can purge content. When you scrape content, there's no way to get a purge notice.
