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.

What if my instance says other services and instances can't do that? Are meta then breaking the law?

If your instance says nobody can fetch its messages that just means turning off federation

Can we put terms as to how the data is used / not used? Surely that could put an end to meta's dark move?

Yeah, that should be possible, back it up with the GDPR as well.
