"There are 5 games written in Rust and 50 game engines.” — Interview with Senior Rust Developer in 2023
Plus an appointment is not required for those that have an iPhone with LiDAR which is probably nearly everyone who is considering purchasing this.
I think that would only work when the number of instances is small. Two solutions to this might be:
I’m shocked, SHOCKED that killing the API would lead to web scraping! That was a completely unpredictable outcome.
Yes, with a major caveat. An instance will search only communities that at least one user on the instance is subscribed to and only as far back as the time the first user on the instance subscribed to the community.
I’ve always been confused why Google keeps Waze and Maps completely separate. Google Maps interface with Waze crowd sourcing would be killer.
I used to love Etsy for true, handmade items. Now I have to wade through a sea of drop shipped AliExpress crap.
That was an incredibly comprehensive, well articulated, and dare I say, exhaustive essay on some important issues you raised. On top of that, creating sample documents is next level.
I don’t think the word “privacy” is a good word for the concept. I believe “user data control” or “right to be forgotten” is more appropriate for the “deletion issue”. However, there are few privacy issues such as instance admins having access to private messages and the potential for a hack to expose users e-mail addresses and usernames.
I believe you are 100% correct that we need to do a much better at communicating exactly who has access to their data and what (if any) control they have over that data once it is federated. I don’t believe we will ever have an guaranteed federated delete, and we need to make that crystal clear so users can proceed accordingly.
Running a self-hosted service is one thing, but running a public service raises a myriad of legal issues. In the US, children under 13 must not be allowed to have accounts (COPPA). CSAM (child pornography) is another problem that can expose admins to serious repercussions. In the US, it is not enough to delete it, it must be reported to the NCMEC. Federation will make this especially treacherous. Other issues such as criminal investigations, subpoenas, and possibly even national security letters are not a matter of “if” but “when” they will occur.
If Lemmy continues to grow, instance admins will need to be prepared for these issues. I would suggest that the public instance admins reach out to an organization like the EFF who has experience dealing with these issues. If not, I’m afraid a high profile incident may be all it takes to kill it.
For CSAM in the US, you have to have actual knowledge to be responsible for reporting. If you view the image or it is reported, you must act. Its pretty much the same for DMCA.
