Just saw a post on reddit alternatives and there was a comment inviting users to laguna.chat. I went and checked it out and the trending communities list included, ‘jews did 911’, ‘killnirs’, ‘hitler was right’, and 'Fuck Nirs’. One of the user accounts was u/HangNi***rs.
Hey Laguna Chat, get your shit together.
Edit: markdown defeated me again. I think you can figure out what those words are.
It’s worse because now other servers federating with you are on hook legally as well.
The law doesn’t make allowances for federated servers. Essential it’s your sever getting the CP in the eyes of the law.
That can’t be accurate otherwise it’d be incredibly easy to have maliciously taken down “the Fediverse” long ago. There might not be a direct Fedi distinction in the law and it might be too complex for the average district attorney to understand on the surface but that doesn’t equate to “everyone is breaking the law” if something illegal shows up on a feed.
safe harbor law protects it. as long as its user uploaded content and you are not aware of it youre safe afaik
