- rtpg 7y agoSure, but there could be DMCA-style “you’re not liable, unless we point it out to you and you don’t act on the information” mechanisms. It feels super reasonable to ask for telecoms to blacklist stuff after complaints
- salawat 7y agoThey are currently empowered to do that already. You just have to give explicit consent.
