@dansup Erm... the "Update Interests" part is personalized tracking. You are keeping a dataset of personalized interests on the server. That alone is accumulating tracking data.
And a big part of data protection is "not accumulating personalized tracking data".

I don't see how that aligns with the Fediverse's values as I understand them, even though you do have a User Control part.

@anathemDave The user interests are simply hashtags and tokens of videos they've interacted with, its no different than Mastodon, we just access it differently.
