All those pesky staff, costing me money to produce value.

The Fediverse is a niche product too, frankly.

And the disruption is the problem. The whole point of EEE is to choke growth of competition.

How is ActivityPub and the Fediverse insulated from this?

I don’t think any fediverse user is concerned about their data being taken. The concern comes from the obvious threat of embrace-extend-extinguish.

Meta’s intent is irrelevant; EEE is basically a given of a large corporation because it helps maximise profit.
