Because the other examples you mention, are corporations with lawyers. They (usually) won’t get a random police raid, and even if, it’d not be as potentially disastrous as it would be for a random person.
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoTor exit nodes don't usually get a random police raid either. But in any event that seems like more of an argument for not running one at your house than for having some moral objection in this case but not to any of those corporations transferring the same content.
- Semaphor 3y agoPossibly depends on the country. There have been issues in Germany, but we have some pretty atrocious networking laws. And I guess you could interpret GP’s comment as moral, I was reading it as legal, but there’s no real sign one way or the other.
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoI take it as a moral argument because awareness of the behavior of abusive police departments wouldn't have changed by looking at the traffic.
- Semaphor 3y agoRisk obviously would. And it’s about the laws.
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoBut it isn't about the laws, or why isn't that a problem for Cloudflare or Comcast? It's about police departments doing what they ought not to do out of incompetence or a desire to harass innocent people who inconvenience them without violating any laws. Which they could just as easily be doing because of Napoleon syndrome or lobbyist pressure from the RIAA.
