This move is bold and refreshing. I think Facebook and Amazon should also be taking action (assuming sci hub is using AWS and people are posting links to it on FB and organizing groups).
It’s only fair that, in case of breach of any law, regardless of where it comes from, that same measures be applied in each and every case.
I’m sure HN would agree given what has transpired over the last week.
Edit: I missed to include CloudFlare and others as well. They shouldn’t be providing DNS services to anyone who is breaking any laws.
- jokethrowaway 6y agoThey're private companies, they are not required to uphold the law. We have police and courts which are paid to do that. I can understand removing content that would make them liable in front of a court (as publishers) - anything else they remove it's censorship and I don't like it.
- jenwkejnwjkef 6y agoSci-hub is not breaking any laws. They are accused of breaking laws. Who gave Twitter, in your eyes, the power to act as a judge?

- Robotbeat 6y agoCopyright infringement (especially when arguably in the public interest, even if illegal) and inciting violence are not even close to comparable. Different moral universe. Different legal ramifications as well.
- paul_f 6y agoI wish Facebook and Twitter would ban everything I don't like. That seems healthy.
