So, I’ve noticed a few posts making it to “all” from some some communities that are, shall we say, unsympathetic to the Israelis readarding the attacks over the weekend.
I don’t want to get into a row about the situation itself as you can have one of them anywhere online right now.
However, some of it slips into being supportive and almost enthusiastic about Hamas actions.
In quite a few countries, Hamas are a legally proscribed terrorist organisation, and support of them is specifically illegal. Therefore I’m wondering if there is any risk hosting federated content from these instances if you happen to live in said country and host a Lemmy instance. Lemm.ee for example being based in the EU where they are deemed as terrorists.
There seems to be illegality all around –
“Israel’s Settlements Have No Legal Validity, Constitute Flagrant Violation of International Law, Security Council Reaffirms” (United Nations press release, 2016) https://press.un.org/en/2016/sc12657.doc.htm
As I said, I’m not here to have a row about the morals of the situation, you can take that to a million other places right now. I’m asking about the risk to instances of material that’s illegal in the host nation being spread to them by federation.
