#Platform #operators of the #decentralised #socialweb, like #Mastodon and #Bluesky, can limit #copyrightliability by following the #DMCA #safeharbour provisions. This includes designating a contact for infringement notices, responding promptly to notices and counter-notices, having a repeat infringer policy, not ignoring known infringement, and avoiding encouraging infringement. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/copyright-and-dmca-best-practices-fediverse-operators?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News
