You might be right but that’s a weird stance to take.
I just wish everyone understood that hosting a website that lets thousands of anonymous people talk and post whatever they want can be anxiety-provoking. Imagine waking up and the front page of the site you own is hosting CSAM or being served a legal document that you’re now being sued by CompanyX over hosting of pirated content.
The dark web, p2p networks, bittorrent etc all exist to fly somewhat under the radar, and they seem to be less closely regulated because they require a certain level of experience to even use. The web and apps in the app store on the other hand are easily accessible with a few clicks or taps and not much knowledge. I’ll just say that I’ve worked as a web developer for different companies and whenever we had “DCMA takedown requests” we usually had one of the higher-ups walk over to our desk and waited until they knew all copies of those files were completely removed from their servers. I’m just talking about things like breaking embargo and showing images of a product before it’s been released, not piracy or CSAM. Now figure the instance owners likely don’t have a legal team of their own, so even the threat of a lawsuit means no more instance for everyone.
Nothing right or left wing about that. People don’t like getting sued and having to lose everything.
