      So….free services that perform an actual service and help broke college kids who are already going into insane amounts of literally un-repayable and totally preventable debt while trying to get an education and advance our country/species are bad…….but letting a handful of AI bros completely and totally eviscerate copyright law for personal profit while building the world’s most powerful brianrot propaganda machines is fine?

      Humanity will truly have earned whatever miserable end inevitably befalls our species.

      Court said delete, internet said lol. Relying on a default judgment alone is weak, as it assumes compliance from a site built to resist legal pressure

      The collected information is not copyrightable, so it seems doubtful that web hosts would comply to censor the information.

      American court. America is hardly endearing themselves to the rest of us on the world stage right now.
