What's to stop that corporation from using private browsing to scrape that content anyway? Sure they don't have as much of a way to identify and link their ad profiles to other users, but if it's pure content they're after, unless a home server is completely siloed from the rest of the world and aggressively defends against that kind of scraping activity, that can't be stopped. That's the argument the Mastodon devs made.
