Infamous implies somebody is famous in a negative way. If anything, Gabe is a shining example that should be upheld.

Not sure why you’re citing US law when we’re discussing foreign govts. Also the obvious thing signal can do, that most complainants would probably expect as a minimum, is banning their accounts and closing the group.

I don’t get what you’re trying to say at all. If a party is in a group chat and reports it, they can provide their credentials to Signal to enable Signal to view the contents of the chat.

Yes, they’re a carrier that does not know the content of what they carry. But once they are made aware, the legal system considers them to now bear responsibility if they don’t take action. Whether or not that’s fair is a pretty large topic, though I’m inclined to think so myself.

Funny how the .ml admins are so opposed to free speech on their own server, then.

I’m a Discord-using LGBT ally, and I don’t know anybody who uses this (nor had I heard about it until now). You may be overestimating it’s reach / appeal.

I’m a techy, linux-driving, self-hosting guy. I’m using Discord for my club chat because there’s no other practical options. People who harp about moving off Discord seem like they’ve never considered user-friendliness in their considerations.

What does good faith have to do with anything the big companies claim?

It works well with shows you want to start watching immediately. Enable sequential download, 2 minues to grab the header/footer, and you can start watching. It’ll download faster than you watch.
