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.

Most of this is just part of Federation. When I saw this comment my client/server didn't have to fetch it from your server. It was pushed when you posted it so I had it locally.

Yes, but if you host an image, and my client prefetches it, it's going to exposed my IP to your image server. And if you have clauses saying you're collecting IPs...

Meta basically invented this shit. They'll do it again. It's what they do.
