this seems equivalent to banning a cybersecurity community because encryption get used by bad actors sometimes, so discussion of staying anonymous online needs to be banned

using your analogy; it’s like banning access to a piracy community because sometimes pirates use it…

pirates sometimes use meme communities too, but those aren’t banned, and .world isn’t completely defederated from db0, so that’s not it.

so discussion of staying anonymous online needs to be banned since information about staying anonymous online is “sharing the tools and techniques” that could be used in assisting criminal activity.

staying anonymous online is not a crime though. copyright infringement is a crime. that’s why the analogy doesn’t make sense.

scenario is: people are linking to law-breaking content in x-community. therefore, .world is choosing to ban said x-community that facilitates it, to prevent legal liability.

I understand the need to draw the line at actually sharing copyrighted content, but discussion of lockpicks or linking to sites that sell lockpicks is not equivalent to going around illegally picking locks, except it seems that is exactly the case when it comes to piracy but no other topics.

you’re right, while lock picking can be illegal, it’s not always illegal. however, copyright law violations are always illegal.

this law-breaking content happens to be copyright infringement/piracy material. another example a host might ban would be a community that is linking to CP, or a community that is linking to Identity theft sources, etc. even if it’s just users posting links to this sort of content, I can understand a host not wanting to expose themselves to any sort of legal liability.

any benefits of this over Spicetify? does SpotX also support theming?

Obtainium is great for updating apps hosted outside the playstore, big upside being you don’t need to bother with FDroid releases

because we all know that license agreements are a line that trojan distributors will not cross. Not malware distribution, not hacking laws, but copyright infringement. They’d never do that at all.

I believe it would be significantly easier to submit a takedown request for copyright issues, compared to reporting an app for being malicious.

It’s nice, but I wish it had sponsorblock support, though I’m not sure if it’s something they’ll add.
