We have recently received a takedown request for content not directly related to these communities, but it prompted us to review other piracy related content and communities.

What a pathetic response. I am interpreting this as:

We will fold whenever we get a legal request, real or not.

To users on .world, I strongly recommend scrubbing your posts, deleting your account, and then going to a different instance. These admins have proven that they WILL buckle to legal pressure no matter what - that means also giving up user data upon request. Your data is completely accessible by admins. That includes your private messages and unpublished pictures.

Off the top of my head I can think of a few scenarios:

• Being LGBTQIA+ in a country where its illegal to be
• Consuming content from websites not approved by the Chinese government while being a Chinese citizen
• Disparaging the Chinese government while being a Chinese citizen
• Activism discussion (eg. extinction rebellion, antifa, the auntie network)
• Right to repair in countries where its illegal to circumvent device DRM to perform repairs

I’ve deleted my account there because that TOS and so-called privacy policy are complete and utter trash.

NATO shouldn’t appoint Rutte, full stop.

Rutte honestly needs to fuck off away from politics for good. The trouble we are having here in the Netherlands is largely the fault of his (and his cabinets) policy waffling on important issues like housing and healthcare.

Our refugee “problem” that gave rise to Geert Wilders and his disgusting rhetoric is the result of 13 years of conservative foot dragging on building housing and getting away with it. His party and cabinet were also dragging their feet on reaching climate goals, and implemented a disastrous half-measures covid policy in which the RIVM happily parroted the advice of the American CDC instead of coordinating their own research.

His cabinet also had scandal after scandal that “broke” coalitions, with the last one being because he walked away from the table, showing a total lack of respect towards our other politicians. He’s not fit to hold office in any shape or form and is an utter failure in all aspects. His parents should be ashamed.
