Yep. People were mad at Blahaj zone admins at defederating from the porn instances but holy shit the liability when it comes to these things is insane. People don't seem to understand that an instance hosts a cache of all the federated instances that users visit. If something is hosted on one of the piracy instances that some corp doesn't like, they come for everyone who has that data.

Except every piracy community on Lemmy so far has rules against direct linking... Sidebar Rule 3.
