>Can we get a new rule that an author posting their own content, knowing it is unavailable in the UK, has to post their own archive link and explain why they're doing so as part of the submission?
reply[Author blocks link to avoid being potentially in violation of the law]
You ask author to willingly provide link to again potentially be in violation of the law
You do not see the irony in your question
So you are thinking that the UK government is going to do an international criminal investigation against aphyr for posting an archive link on a hacker news thread.
replyYou're asking the wrong question.
replyDoes the UK government have the legal right to do an international criminal investigation against any website that is potentially violating their laws by having visitors from the UK accessing the site?
Answer yes or no, this is an easy binary question, and not one that requires any probabilistic thinking.
I wish we could flag some posts (like as "tangential") instead of this archaic upvote/downvote.
replyAnd obviously a way to filter in/out those flags.
