The provision describes the foundational data model of the service: user-generated content and social graph information are configured for public visibility by default rather than privacy-restricted. This public-by-design architecture is central to how the decentralized service functions and distributes content across its network.
Users who adopt the service operate under a default setting where their posts, profile information, social connections, and blocking actions are accessible to other users. The terms establish public visibility as the operational baseline for account activity rather than requiring affirmative steps to publish content.
