50% of known CP is hosted in Netherlands. A country smaller than New York state.

Also a hotspot for drugs trafficking, yet with a pristine official record of corruption, ranking as one of the ten least corrupt countries in the world. These seem incongruous, somehow.

the south of the netherland is the largest XTC producer in Europe, and very hard to tackle because criminal enterprises are usually entrenched in local villages and communities.

not really, DMCA is not binding by dutch law. If however, they get a request from a dutch/european authority, they would have to respond to that.

It might count as being notified of illegal material which they are required by Dutch law to remove.

Digital Millennium *Copyright* Act.

To use a claim for any purpose other than enforcing your own copyrights (since 'illegal images' is such a broad term) is illegal in of itself.

The DMCA itself has no jurisdiction outside of the US regardless of the person accessing the data is within the US.

In order to submit a DMCA claim, one has to do so under the penalty of perjury.

>(vi)A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

A DMCA claim isn't a "notification of illegal images." It is a statement of "I own the (copy)rights to this work and you do not have permission to host/use it."

I would agree if the questions was about helping to catch someone who had made these videos. But hosting isn't a morality question, they are just storing a number, and hosting company should not have to care what interpretations of a number can exist.

The hosting company could be a cesspool but I just checked one of the news blog site the article attributed to ‘right wing radicals’. The content looks like Dutch version of Buzzfeed or TMZ https://vizieroplinks.org/

A version of Buzzfeed who put letter bombs through left-winger's mailboxes, regularly make death threats to left-wing politicians and generally act like a they're living in some third world anarchist state.

Anarchists don't want states.

That's the whole point of being an anarchist.

Filing a false DMCA claim is perjury. > A DMCA claim (or takedown) is when a copyright holder notifies a service provider that they have infringing material on their site/service. It is also known as a “Notification of Infringement”. For example, Twitch has these guidelines for submitting DMCA claims. Essentially it boils down to send in writing who you are, who is infringing your rights, how they’re doing it, and sw…

Has that ever been enforced, in any shape or form?

You have to counterfile, but there's a poison pill in the regulation that by doing so you agree U.S. courts have jurisdiction, thereby nullifying any protections you have from being in another countries juridiction.

I mean, there is no getting around it if you want the countersuit to work and reflect poorly on the claimant, but you are agreeing to letting the U.S. have extra-territorial jurisdiction.

> they are just storing a number

they are just storing atoms. the storage company should not have to care about what configurations the atoms can exist in.

Those ‘interpretations’ are tangible, meaningful products of harm inflicted on children. Let’s not pretend there’s an alternative – that anyone is using those bits in a different way.

> „But the customs made me throw it away before the return flight. I couldn’t even take a sip.”" B.S. Before a flight, a highly paid (given what they do) security theather monkey tried to demand that I forfeit an expensive bottle. Knowing full well how it works in most countries, where the loots are split at the end of the day, I said "watch this", chugged it down, and voluntarily surrendered the now empty bottle. At…

Sounds like a good way to get alcohol poisoning.

The human body is wonderfully done: you then throw up.

It was a smelly flight however. Sorry, plane ground! Sorry, seat neighbours!

But it was funny when the stewardess asked my why I was sick: I just told the truth, I was drunk! What was she going to do anyway? Throw me out of the first class and into the main cabin?

Would „confidental computing”[1] be able to provide a solution in this situation? If it is encrypted using a TEE, they would have no way of knowing what kind of data they are hosting. [1]: https://confidentialcomputing.io/

Are you suggesting that something is a "solution" by shielding people who perpetuate the distribution of child abuse media and profit off it?

If you are, then there is something seriously wrong with you.
