So, I’ve noticed a few posts making it to “all” from some some communities that are, shall we say, unsympathetic to the Israelis readarding the attacks over the weekend.
I don’t want to get into a row about the situation itself as you can have one of them anywhere online right now.
However, some of it slips into being supportive and almost enthusiastic about Hamas actions.
In quite a few countries, Hamas are a legally proscribed terrorist organisation, and support of them is specifically illegal. Therefore I’m wondering if there is any risk hosting federated content from these instances if you happen to live in said country and host a Lemmy instance. Lemm.ee for example being based in the EU where they are deemed as terrorists.
Article 14 of the Directive 2000/31/EC states that hosts are not liable for material uploaded by users, unless they are aware of it.
Edit: I should add that there’s a new set of regulations called the DSA, with new rules regarding moderation. Afaik it is mostly important for large established platforms though.
Is there a way to report content on here to your instance mod rather than the mods of the specific community?
You can message the mods. Sunaurus is a sound guy.
IIRC the other admin are probably more suited for user reports. This leaves sunaurus more time to focus on server admin stuff :)
