Troll has a point.
Disregard for a moment it’s 4chan doing it. Once I do so, I feel like their approach to this matter is close to ideal: they’re highlighting that the entity in question is stepping over its legal boundaries, they’re taunting the lawyers trying to bully them into submission, and they’re ridiculing both the entity in charge of the bullying and the law being used to do so. A shitty law that we know to not be about protecting children, it’s using children as hostages to kill internet anonymity.
I wish more sites did the same.
[BTW there’s a similar law here in Brazil, the “lei Felca”. Equally ridiculous. But given this is Latin America, and law enforcement in LatAm is notoriously sloppy… so far it changed absolutely nothing for me.]
