Well, I run forgejo for my own stuff. So, let’s say I decided to host something that is subject to a copyright complaint. As soon as people start using your repo and their lawyers get a whiff of it, they’ll just take the IP of your server and DMCA the owner of the IP. Whether it be me, or the host. It’s an entity they can go after and will need to yield to appropriate law. The effect would be the same as the DMCA going to Github.
But on tor, it hides the entity operating and running the server. Making it a lot harder to find the person to even send the DMCA to, let alone start the legal wheels turning, if it were ignored.
Thats pretty awesome, ngl. Definitely something to keep in mind.
But think about 10.000 forks and 10.000 letters to 10.000 ips. This would create so much damage its not even funny. :)
Like a tiktok trend. „go to againstcyberoppression.com and download this hardcoded, federated forgejo instance with this repo to give nintendos lawyers something to choke on“
