  • But I don’t think companies are transparent enough with how they use things and usually ask for very broad licensing and usage rights for what you upload. Sure us tech literate people should and usually are scrutinizing that stuff, but what about the family aunt who just wants to share photos of their nephew with their close ones? On Facebook for example it even tells you you are only sharing posts with “Friends” or “Everyone” (or custom I guess) which might make those people think “oh just my friends see this, not the platform that I’m using”












  • A bit longer than that. Kakao went after tachiyomi for a number of extensions, the biggest ones being mangadex and bato.to. the Tachiyomi team took the plugins down without fighting back. A day later they announced they’re taking down the plugin repo effective immediately, likely out of fear of future action but it also could’ve been discussed behind closed doors with the Kakao team - we don’t know. Now Kakao is trying to sue the entire app, all of its developers and anyone who’s forked it on GitHub for infringing copyright.
