I'm no IP lawyer, but I do have an amateur academic interest in copyright, freedom of speech, and the whole complex that is technology/culture/privacy/security/law enforcement/etc. I wish LJ was of any interest to anyone in the US because if it was all my feeds would be flooded with tech-sphere analysis of what's going on right now and the deeper implications. But nobody does, and they aren't, and I feel a bit blind.
IDK, I've used shady sites on the web before because it was convenient or because I wanted to or I just didn't care. I've lingered on platforms whose policies I distrust because that's where everybody is. And every platform you do embrace is always a decision of what you're willing to compromise or risk in comparison to what you get in return.
But everything about this makes me feel gross and angry.
