Title says it. Apparently lemmy devs are not concerned with such worldly matters as privacy, or respecting international privacy laws.

Almost like the entire platform is based on the idea that one server/owner can't be in charge of the data.

Don't get me wrong, not picking a fight, just what op said is kind of obvious to me. You're picking a social media that is democratized and is federated with everyone. The natural tradeoff is that your data is not housed on one server... Which obviously means it's not private.

Idk, the fediverse is a great place, but I would never post anything here I ever wanted to be private. It's not an accident, it's literally by design.
