Scary but hey at least Reddit isn't handing out the info so easily in this instance

Would be mad.

There are many topics people discuss that are problematic. Forget piracy. What about people from authoritarian regimes, people from countries that are in danger to fall to authoritarians, even if they haven't yet. Anything from years ago could become problematic if the wrong government gets into power.

Making jokes about God is no deal under some regimes, it's blasphemy in others.

Drugs are a problem in a lot of countries, and a literal death sentence in some.

Making fun of a fringe politician is nothing when they are not in power, but becomes a problem if they get into power.

I am sure Reddit gives some data in cases of actual danger, which is fair. But if they start to hand out data for something minor like piracy, it's going to be a problem for discussion on the discussion plattform.

They will if they get a nickel for doing it.

Whatever. It's not really admissable. People talk about tons of things that they don't actually do. For example, I talked today on teams about deleting a problematic app from our vcenter just so we didn't have to deal with a compatible issue. Didn't actually do it.

I was discussing trebucheting politicians off the white cliffs of Dover earlier today on Discord. Not gonna do that either. Sadly.

But sire is the trébuchets are locked and ready! Do not make us turn back!

[-] ReCursing@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Oh, well if we've come this far let's get on with it!

Why do you want to pollute the environment with toxic waste?
