Ok, so the #Maven team states that they deleted the posts they INGESTED WITHOUT CONSENT after the huge negative response from the #fediverse #community.
But yet, the question remains, don't 'The Rules' of each server include the fact that #UserContent is not to be stolen (taken without consent) ?
I mean one of the #MainReason to switch from #bigTech, is the idea that my #content is #notForSale, especially without my explicit say so.

A recent investigation by Liaizon Wakest revealed that Maven, a new social network founded by former OpenAI Team Lead Ken Stanley, has been importing a vast amount of statuses from Mastodon without anSean Tilley (We Distribute)
Instructive to read #Maven's #About page and see who's behind it.

Selected excerpts from "Who is behind Maven?"
"CEO Ken Stanley is an expert on open-ended discovery in both AI and human systems and ... (most recently leading the Open-Endedness Team at #OpenAI )."
At: "Is Maven part of a larger company?"
"No, Maven is an independent startup."

Where have I heard that name before?
Been looking into #Maven all morning

The head admin/dev @jsecretan claims:

"I suspect that @Supernovae closed it because they do not want to be involved with Mastodon anymore."
