Do the ToS of lemmy instances contain any indication of monetising user data? (sh.itjust.works)

Hey folks,

This is a more general question for me to better understand the Fediverse.

If one of the popular instances decide to monetise the user data, are there any legal frameworks to stop that?

I'm guessing you're referring to the GDPR guidelines (for EU at least, not sure what the equivalent California rules are).
