Comment on Meta found liable in child exploitation case
7101334@lemmy.world 6 days agoAs a regular of the old-internet, including hellsites such as VampireFreaks dot com, I promise it takes more than that for the government to care. VF was the site of two? vampire-inspired teenage murderers and a few other horrors, including one of the admins defending the presence of a convicted pedophile who was banned from using Facebook.
As for why, my assumption is that you cannot fine an entity which is barely profitable. I mean you can but you won’t get anything, so they’re unlikely to bother.

I don’t think that will save it. I’m barely profitable and cops still give me tickets. Times are changing. Governments are coming down hard on the Internet. OSA in the UK forced Urban Dead to shut down. I would have to think admins running instances are feeling a little nervous.

UK is a very different story

For now. But the US is planning to pass it’s own version of OSA.

I doubt it. Nothing contrary to the interests of corporations ever happens in America.
