Yeah, I had a question around how to stop people from claiming "legit" brands and bashing them? I could easily see someone take a brand like Uber or Airbnb and start creating content that could get the actual brand in legit trouble. Cool concept though! I like the simplicity.
- unfl 7y agoGood question and it's definitely a concern. For now, I'm just monitoring things manually, but certainly would need a more scalable system if the site grows.
- garysahota93 7y agoAwesome! As long as you're monitoring it. Keep this going!
- conception 7y agoOr worse like paste in, Bitcoin and other public places people will post urls to terrible/illegal things on the internet. People always find a way to ruin the public commons.
- erklik 7y agoHonestly, a more scarier concern is that there is likely to various illegal things posted on this as soon as enough people get on it.
- irrational 7y agoSo how many of the images that have been linked to are child porn?
- hermanradtke 7y agoIf the brand has no affiliation with the person who posted the content, how is the brand getting in trouble? I for one am not too worried about "legit" brands being squatted. No sane person thinks https://sdnotes.com/facebook https://sdnotes.com/facebook was made by Facebook.

- lensopra 7y agoI understand the concern, but I wonder if it's real. I can bash Facebook in this comment right now, lie, but is HackerNews legally responsible for this comment? I honestly don't know the laws. Seems like I should.
