heluecht[m] > <@jaywink:federator.dev> adding the domain to the preview is a pretty good mitigation tho
# heluecht[m] Friendica is doing so:

# nightpool[m] make sure you use anticonfusability rules when showing the domain though
# nightpool[m] ascii only or forbid mixed scripts.
# heluecht[m] The link previews could possibly be a problem from a very different side though.
# heluecht[m] There is a EU regulation that has to be put into law in the next few months regulating that companies have to pay for displaying preview content of news outlets.
# heluecht[m] It is totally unclear if this could affect distributed networks as well.
# heluecht[m] In the worst case different EU countries could have different flavours of this regulation.
# lanodan Pretty sure this one -similarly to GDPR- also doesn't affect the fediverse except for commercial instances like pawoo.
# lanodan At least pleroma already has a bunch of settings for controlling link previews so I think we're quite safe there.
# nightpool[m] the fundamental rights section of the gdpr does affect the fediverse, there's no exception for non-commercial services, only for "household" services.
# nightpool[m] the definition of household services given in the recitations will affect any instance with more then 1 or 2 users.
# nightpool[m] the section about legitimate grounds for data processing does not really affect the fediverse.
# nightpool[m] obviously ianal and case law may differ from country to country
# nightpool[m] the language around article 11 is a lot more vague, there are some carve-outs for noncommercial use but it's unclear how broadly that applies.

# heluecht[m] Also we cannot be sure how the different countries will implement it. Your server could already count as "commercial" when you receive donations for it - or when a company is sponsoring it (like one of my servers)
