@rw @gargron @wakest The edge is pretty horrible though.
-
@wakest @rw @gargron In my case I have them blocked because some of the content they post is illegal in Canada and we already lost one instance to the cops busting people over that shit.
-
@wakest @gargron In GNU Social this is essentially the purpose of @moonman's sensitivecontent plugin. I think similar features are planned for Mastodon, he just hasn't gotten that far yet, but Eugen can correct me if I'm wrong.

@wakest @moonman @gargron No, the ideal (ish) solution in the case of instances with potentially illegal content is probably to blacklist fetching attachments from them.
-
@wakest @moonman @gargron That would protect site operators in most instances I can think of, legally-speaking. (Though I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice). In Canada the problem is the transmittal of this information is illegal. If I'm not transmitting it myself, my hands are clean. Links are a bit of a grey area, but given the precedent from cases…
-
@gargron @moonman @wakest No matter what course of action wee take there you're going to break things to some degree. Leaving it as a link to the original notice seems the way to do it that is the least degree of such breaking things to my mind; but it would be nice to have the options between doing that or just not showing those notices at all.
-
@wakest @gargron That's out of the software not being developed in this area yet, rather than some willful censorship or other intention, but I'd agree a discussion should happen in that instance's community as to what approach that is legal they would find agreeable.
