    Nobody has actually fined any instance yet, and they are not going after your little instance if they start doing it.

    It would be Lemmy.world first as a target because of their size and the entire lemmy network would not stop talking about it for weeks.

      Sometimes establishing a precedent with a weaker party is a good strategy though. It even went as far as litigating known parties for piracy issues. Anything is fair game to some actors.

      Thought for GDPR most actors are legit and the actions have merits. Shoutout to Mr Schrems for example.
