      There’s a world of difference between witnessing something in public and following someone around, making note of everything they say and do “in public.” We call the latter “stalking” when an individual does it.

        Looking at someone’s post history != following a person around.

        Further following someone around is not stalking there has to be an action that would make someone fear being harmed.

        If I click your username, I see everthing this account has posted to Lemmy. There’s no real-world equivalent to that.

        Nearly everyone using Lemmy knows that’s how the software works and should keep that in mind when posting.

        The AI system searches public posts, it’s not able to read DMs, it doesn’t have login credentials.

          Though they do reserve the ability to seize, crack and search your phone within the Constitution Free Zone (one hundred miles of any US border) and will then search all your internet activity for wrongdoing. Dunno if that is treated with AI searching.
