This shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

Even DISALLLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_API_ACCESS can be easily bypassed by creating a client that logs into mastodon.social (for example), and just gobbles up the Federated feed.

It's what the FediBuzz relays are now doing in order to keep single-user instances viable and not funnel everyone to the same 3 instances.

Unfortunately, if Meta wants to be shitty, they'll be shitty. Even stuff like robots.txt & nofollow tags are just polite requests that can be ignored by shitheads.
