Mastodon has updated its terms of service to explicitly ban the scraping of user data for AI model training, following similar actions by other social networks. Starting July 1, the platform prohibits unauthorized data extraction and the development of automated systems. However, this policy applies only to the Mastodon.social server, leaving the possibility for data scraping on other servers within the fediverse. Additionally, Mastodon is raising its minimum user age limit from 13 to 16 globally.
