    I mean the apps rather than the instances. There’s nothing about the fediverse that would stop, say, Jerboa (to pick one at random, I’m sure they’re fine!) from scraping and selling your data.

      It helps when apps like Jerboa are open source. The average user may not notice, but anyone can in theory check what their code does and report any violations.
