Fascist shutdown of public discourse, step by step:
They are a dumbass if they do this cause they will get prosecuted themselves for posting that. There's a safe harbor provision for server admins so long as they make a good faith effort to report when it is brought to their attention (at least in the US). So long as you are doing your due diligence as a web host, you should be fine.
Whatever dumbass decided to upload that shit should be watching their back honestly
I'm talking about when the government wants an excuse for shutting down public discourse. Obviously it isn't going to prosecute itself.
They have much less roundabout ways of shutting things down if they really want to.
I came here to say this. The long dick of the law has far better avenues to take down sites than potentially handling the digital equivalent of nuclear waste and posting it on sites they don’t like.
imo it’s more likely that some agitator dickweed would do that than a government. Both are conceivable, though.
So, spez?
ha! Yes!
Ah yes, it was all a false flag, instigated by the government to take away our freedoms, I get it
Also screenshots of csam would count as csam right
Yeah, I think until a solution is found image hosting should be blocked, and instead rely on external image hosting sites. That seems like the best immediate solution.
