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.
Interesting question.
Would you mind stating your personal political bias if you have one in regard to this conversation?
I’m only asking because there have been instances where people have tried to limit freedom of speech citing political risk or ‘extremism’ on lemm.ee, so I’m offering you an opportunity to get it all out here.
No, I specifically said that’s not what this is about. I was interested in the legal ramifications as it pertains to federated networks and hosting. It’s an apoltical query. If you want a row, look elsewhere.
