  • I agree that holdibg hosts liable for user actions is a real slippery slope, in this case it seems to be a result of Cloudflare not following up a previously agreed upon settlement with the publishers in 2019. If you agree to remove the content, and then don’t do it, then further suits are to be expected.

    However the article does not go into further details about the specifics of the 2019 settlement, so it’s hard to conclude if this is a classic fuck around and find out or just a further step of IP-holders going after everything and anything willy nilly













  • For the most part, MS does not need to do any lobbying in my experience. MS software and Office suite is generally the default for anyone who has not been particularly tech interested or worked in tech related fields.

    Especially in terms of government/public type domains, almost everyone defaults to MS because it’s what they’ve always had, what everyone else has or they don’t know what alternatives there are.

    The few to choose otherwise usually go for Google Suite, which in this particular case probably would have had the same result.
