How can instance owners protect themselves from people uploading illegal content? what can they do if a user does post illegal content?
its all fun and games right now but trolls are sure to appear at some point
@areyoutoo exactly!
or people creating multiple accounts on yours for it to get DMCA'D to death
@Rineroth Instance owners can ban content don't they ?
@modesta I guess that's a good way to fight it
@Rineroth And what about harassment? Sure, maybe you can ban an account on server, but then they can just go to another one. And what if the AltRight /NeoNazis/General Assholes want to create their own server just to harass users across the entire federated network?
@rene there has to be a way to ban entire servers from your timeline but they can just as easily make a new one...
I see this turning into a new chan pretty soon :(
@Rineroth perhaps this will mean that we'll have self selecting networks of servers in the future?
@Rineroth I would assume owners/ people with power would delete post? I mean after all if they can't do that someone has a db full of our ips,usernames,emails,and passwords.
@Rineroth Imagine getting a DMCA notice for content that's hosted on a separate instance. Ugh.
