@lemmy.worldIt’s because you’re living these events through the prism of TV News. I live in France, I was born here, I’ve lived in other countries too, but here is where I chose to stay.
I haven’t seen any of the events depicted in the news. I know bad events are taking place, I know the president and government are morons. This has zero impact on my daily life. I just mind my business and do my thing.
That’s a weird take on the subject, most American I’ve met or worked with where surprised but happy about our ways.
We might have met totally different kinds of people.
The paperwork and logistics is going to be a bitch, but if you can start looking for a job in Europe from your current location, the move itself might be less expansive than you expect.
I don't have a legal background, here's how I understand it.
The key element of the section is "applicable law". You can ignore everything after the first sentence, it's just examples of things that might be banned by applicable law. (it also states "not limited to", so we could argue that under this section, anything can be banned)
All these things are ok, as long as they do not violate applicable law. So digital chip or real chips are okay, as long as the user accessing it is from a region where the applicable law does not ban it. A list of abortion clinics is ok, as long as the user accessing it is not from a state or country banning it.
This entire section is just a legal shield so that they cannot be held responsible for the type of content you host. They just shift the legal responsibility towards the server admin.
Again, it's just how I understand it. It would be cool if someone with a legal background could show up here and clarify it for us.
I understand the same as you: "It's not ok to host infringing material, including infringing pornographic content". So in my understanding, as long as it's original content, it should be ok.
When I first heard about that movie, my reaction was "I hope the actors got the fattest check they could from the morons who had this idea". I'm happy the movie is failing. I don't plan on watching it.
