> keyword moderation is terrible and only affects the language(s) you know about. It doesn't seem that hard for npm to review lists of the most common keyword searches and identify the ones strongly associated with piracy (or other things negative for their business). I agree, though, that keyword moderation is pretty terrible. It might work from npm's perspective, in that it might be annoying enough to pirates that they'll find some more convenient place to upload/download. I don't think it will have any overall impact on privacy though.
