Дмитрий Стешин: Дополню уважаемого слесаря – именно Крым, должен был стать оплотом компьютерного пиратства, базой для всех торрент-трекеров

Crimea has been discussed as a potential hub for computer piracy, particularly after the imposition of sanctions in 2022, which created opportunities for a resurgence in digital piracy. Experts suggest that lifting sanctions might lead to a decline in piracy as the region could shift towards legitimate digital content distribution. In 2018, Yatsenko, the Minister of Information for the Donetsk People's Republic, proposed creating a digital ecosystem to rival Western offerings, though implementation faced challenges. The ongoing conflict and prioritization of traditional industries over the tech sector may hinder progress in fostering a digital piracy landscape. Historical examples, such as lobbying by Latvian fishing interests in Moscow, raise questions about the potential for IT sector lobbying in Crimea. There is speculation about the possibility of a virtual pirate republic or a unique Russian iteration reflecting local culture and identity.

This case against TikTok might spur the Section 230 reform we desperately need

Section 230 of the Telecommunications Decency Act, enacted in 1996, allows platforms to operate while enabling user expression. The Third Circuit US Court of Appeals recently ruled that ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, could be held accountable for distributing harmful content, stemming from a case where a 10-year-old girl died after participating in a dangerous trend on TikTok. The ruling arose from a lawsuit by the girl's mother for negligence and wrongful death. The court's decision suggests that Section 230 does not fully protect publishers from consequences related to harmful content distribution. This highlights the distinction between a publisher, which shares user-generated content, and a distributor, which amplifies content through algorithms. There are calls for reform of Section 230 to ensure tech companies are accountable for their content distribution, emphasizing the need for better content moderation practices without stifling free expression.
