Worse, they are also insisting, for the first time, that at least some of these unexplained rulings are #precedents that lower courts and government officials are bound to follow.

I'm finally seeing some discussion on legal requirements concerning hosting your own fediverse sites (e.q. Mastodon). https://masto.ai/@privacat@dataprotection.social is working on info for the EU at https://github.com/clening/MastodonPrivacyGuide. https://masto.ai/@mookie mentioned DMCA requirements in the US (via https://masto.ai/@dangillmor@mastodon.social.) I'm worried people are creating instances w/o understanding all of the potential legal requirements for where they live. I'd love to find some detailed info about this. #LegalQuestions #Fediverse
