Is that legal? When you sign onto a proprietary platform you usually sign away your rights, but with lemmy this isn't the case, so scraping your data to use to train AI would violate copyright laws, right?

They could set up their own fully federated Lemmy instance and scrape themselves.

They could, and we couldn't stop them, but I think they legally couldn't use content from other instances or even from users from other instances. Not that that will stop them, of course.
