Anyone can bring a lawsuit, I don’t see how this would translate to government overreach like you suggest. It’s already illegal to target and harm kids. META got caught doing it. IF a lemmy instance is also doing it I’m fine with them being shut down and fined with similar evidence as is being presented against facebook (loads of internal documents explicitly outlining their strategy, not to mention multiple whistleblowers over the years).

I'm on a lemmy instance dedicated to copyright infringement. Its already been around for years. You have to get quite big to get the government's intention. Also the site Myrient was just doing endless copyright infringement for years and shut down because it ran out of money, not because the government caught it.

Like dedicated to doing copyright infringement? Or like stopping it?
