#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
Copyright and DMCA Best Practices for Fediverse Operators

People building the future of the social web—interoperable and decentralized—need to protect themselves against copyright liability. This post gives an overview of the steps to take.

#Manipulation 🚫 #BigTech shapes opinions through targeted ads and polarizing content: #opensource #socialmedia empowers #communities.

#MentalHealth 🧠 #Research shows that #algorithm driven #feeds fuel #anxiety and #addiction: #ActivityPub platforms, like #Mastodon, avoid manipulative engagement tactics.

#Privacy 🔒 Unlike Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, XTwitter, #decentralised #networks don’t harvest your data for profit.
