This shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

How does defederating them stop them from getting this public information if they want it?

Good point. I guess they could just fire up a shell instance and get all the good stuff. I wouldn't be too surprised, actually.

They don't even need an instance to get they can just scrape it, like anyone can with public info. They wouldn't even need to make an account for the scraper.
