Whatever dumbass decided to upload that shit should be watching their back honestly

Might relisten to those audiobooks to turn my brain off then lol

Not yet! but I am super interested in watching it knowing that now

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.

Hopefully a push towards forcing the lemmy devs hands on that end will come from this.

:(

Man, I am so freaking sorry. Please take care of yourself.

What happens if someone decides to subscribe to a seemingly innocent community that later becomes a target for such content to be posted? Because that's precisely what happened here.

I mean this very kindly, but seeing that you seem to operate your own instance this very serious misunderstanding of the risks involved with hosting a lemmy instance has me deeply concerned.

You are correct, there is safe harbor provisions on the matter. There is a legal responsibility to report and store the content securely when it is reported as an admin.

What NaibofTabr said. These weren't porn communities, they were generally regular communities.

You are right, there is safe harbor protections here. It's a legal mess that must be navigated carefully. We will see how things progress.

Please clear your browser cache and take care of yourself in whatever you need to. I am so sorry you had to see it.
