    So should you have that comment on every instance that you don’t own? Because whatever instance you join can collect all that information too even if the software is open source. A site owner can trawl the database and get all your private info that you supply too.

      The site owner could just modify the source code they run too. It’s not like, as a user, I can prove the server is running the same code that I can see in the public repo.
