There’s no way that isn’t going to be abused. Some marketing or tracking agency will setup a fediverse server and just collect all data like this for free. Or worse, take advantage of a friendica instance to bombard it with requests for data collection purposes.
Tools do not have morality or ethics, only people do. Some people use tools in a morally and/or ethically questionable manner, either for profit or because it amuses them.

Well yes, the whole concept of the fediverse is that of social media as a public service. All activitypub data is public.
So you’re agreeing with me that it will be abused.
Not them but yes but it’s not a feature of the system, it’s a failure of the humans.
What is it that you mean by that? Do you mind rephrasing your reply?
