Isn't that somewhat of an oxymoron? What are some examples of something that is against the law but not handled by the courts of law?
- dingnuts 3y agoMaybe that commentator lives in a country without common law, so precedent doesn't matter, but in a country like the US a law without precedent is considered "untried" and a lot of the details are worked out when the law is first enforced. If the legislature doesn't like the court's interpretation, they can then amend the law and the process restarts. So basically, at least in the US, nothing is clearly illegal until it is handled by a court -- so yes I think you're right
- internetter 3y agoI mean not handled yet. Like say I'm hosting pirated content. Yes it's illegal, but it's not Cloudflare's place to say that.
- diggan 3y agoRight, but if brought up to the courts, they would handle it, since it's illegal. But someone needs to prosecute for that to happen. So it sounds like the system works as intended, as far as I understand.
- internetter 3y agoI agree. It's not Cloudflare's place to remove something because it might be illegal
