imagine complaining about copyright issues but allowing t_d to still exist
No money to be made off this that's the only reason why.
Do they do anything illegal? Honest question.
You make more money off of domestic terrorism than copyright violations apparently.
I don't think so and the illegal/immoral threshold is so incredibly frustrating honestly because they should be shut down but because there's """no grounds""" to do it, it'd be suicide.
They don't break the law but they *do* radicalize young white men by the dozen and produce nothing but hate and spite. They constantly raid other subs too, there is many reasons to shut them down but they won't because of traffic.
There's a theory running around that if you let them have a little safe haven to echo chamber their idiot heads to death in then it keeps a lot of it from spilling over into other places causing headaches
r/fatpeoplehate didn't do anything illegal and yet reddit still shut them down. same with r/watchpeopledie.
It does nothing but let a wound fester and cause blood poisoning.
The thing is that r/piracy doesn't allow any illegal things either.
No moderation is perfect and some very old posts were targeted by the big music/film industry.
Most of their DMCA claims aren't even valid, see the ones that just link to a site but don't actually have any infringing content on them.
Overall its not a new thing though, big music/film companies are notorious for abusing DMCA claims to censor places.
Now of course you can argue that just discussing that stuff and dropping a hint where one can find those is a big gray area but thats not what DMCA is for.
The article actually explains it well how this is all just a very sketchy, not just the DMCA abuse but also how reddit handles the whole situation.
That's a myth from the 90s and we've known that containment boards don't work for like 15 years.
This is why shitposting completely stopped on FP once OIFY was born. Tudd? Who's that?
and yet in reality T_D actively stages raids against other subs, so, no.
r/Piracy never does
/pol/ proved that containment does not work.
All you're doing is giving them a breeding ground to gather on and grow more twisted views, which then spreads outwards.
Containment does the total opposite to what people intend.
Containment boards are like shitting in a designated corner and never cleaning it up, you shouldn't be surprised when the shit eventually covers your floor.
Is there any preservation effort?
Yep, someone made a backup ~3 weeks ago
For privileged people in power, loss of profit is more tangible than racism and far right extremism.
This is why FP never had to shut down General Disruption and never had any problems. Also Rust kids never posted in the wrong place.
There was nothing left to prove by the time /pol/ was created. The myth of containment boards persists entirely because a lot of the big forums from the 00s were run by moronic dinosaurs who kept
doing it over and over because it seemed to work on some tiny message board they visited back in the 90s, so it must be legit. Then the mods and users bought into it because they liked the forum and
started massively overestimating the competence of its creator, and spread it to places like here. The reality of containment boards was made clear when /b/ became the face of 4chan in 2006, and
while they may not be as dramatic there are plenty of older examples as well. Most people just chose to ignore the reality or find a scapegoat, because it's often easier to accept the idea that a site you
like is being ruined from the outside than it is to acknowledge that it's been mismanaged by an idiotic owner.
