What made everybody move from a corporate social media platform to another corporate social media platform instead of the fediverse?
After all, the Fediverse and Activitypub is much more mature than Bluesky and the copycat AT protocol or Threads and … whatever they use.
This is the case right now.
There’s good reasons GMail doesn’t do that, but there’s absolutely nothing technical preventing from doing that, and I can’t think of anything that legally prevents them from doing that.
@bss03 @ngwoo I have never reasd their contract. But isn’t it in the USA as well that you can’t redefine the primary purpose of a contract, which would be to deliver, receive and store e-mail?
Most people probably don’t have a signed contract with GMail.
I haven’t checked the EULA but they likely have sole discretion around dropping / blocking email, especially any email that might be deleterious to Google Alphabet’s business.
