Public is not the same as public domain.
I'm not a lawyer, but Federation would probably imply consent to sharing the data. Whereas defederation would strongly imply you're not okay with sharing the data with that entity.

So... Instances like lemmy.world, that this is posted to?
yes, I'm federated with them as well, but shit like this is why I dislike them being so big. In the end all the smaller instances can either have strong morals and integrity, or have access to the largest amount of content in the fediverse, but not both.
Gotcha. That sucks.
So those calls are not for the benefit of US companies?
Eh. Gen-x here. I still have an hour long phonecall over signal with my best friend over signal two times a week or so.
In my teens I wasn't too happy about making phonecalls either, but working on a helpdesk for a while sure cured that.
On the other hand, I live in a country with consumer protection, so robocalls are not a thing. And I'd strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger (and GDPR) those companies who attempt to poison and destroy my personal attention.
I wasn't awake enough to appreciate the sarcasm in this comment when I initially read it. Nice one.
The amount of typos lately is depressing.
GDPR is a EU law, this is a UK website.
Lemmy allows it on a user level, since version 0.19
But since I see you're on mbin, that don't do you much good, I'm afraid.
I see.
As the other commenter also said: can't you just block the LW instance on your account?
What's the usecase for cloudflare filtering / blocking LW?
I'm aware that the latter is a huge risk in what is supposed to be a decentralised solution, but I'm not sure why you'd need to filter hundreds of communities for that (rather than defed 1 server).
I thought it was push after subscription.
