replyYeah, like those blasted cookies!!! Thankfully, now we have banners on every website, I have never felt more protected!
Meanwhile: EU pushing to snoop on private chats and US companies are pushing back.
replyWhere do you think that lobbying money is coming from?
replyI'm curios what kind of shit specifically DMCA protects you from?
replyI think you mean DMA, not DMCA. DMCA mostly protects copyright holders. DMA is about protecting users and competitors from platform lock-in. Bending for Apple would just make that lock-in harder to challenge.
replyDMCA provides some rather important protection for service providers (including small-scale services like web forums, not just ISPs and web hosts) - it makes them not liable for copyright violations by their users, so long as they take down infringing content upon receipt of a DMCA notice.
replyBut I agree, that's probably not what OP meant.
Doesn't "DMCA", make, well, the DMCA notice a thing?
