I find it very dubious to conflate running a hosting service with piracy, even if piracy was all over it.
All of the people who need to be in jail to protect us from them seem to never go, and they are busy busting people like these guys and Ross Ulbricht who were actually advancing use of technology.
Google has never had a functional profit model. There is probably some way to make it a resource without making it a walled garden.
I disagree. If they cannot follow basic instructions to get into a system, and we are talking very low bar here, they probably are not going to be able to successfully operate any kind of discussion forum.

It is the perpetual struggle: get too mainstream and you become Reddit or Facebag, stay hard to use and you get a buncha nerds but the content is better.
They have done this for years, unfortunately. Admins are the weak spot in Reddit, not the jannies (ironically). My sympathies!
Hamtramck is dominated by a Muslim majority. There is not one USA, but many.
Win 11 is a bag of crap and shit.
It seems to glitch a lot and slow down common tasks. I have never had an operating system drop typed characters in the modern era. It also seems randomly hostile to pre-win7-era software.
Are people just now discovering that Reddit has run on full censorship for a long time?
Boomers got to live through the boom of the 70’s

Higher education is typically liberal leaning.
You can see why they would oppose it then.
Probably a plea deal. Plead guilty to a few charges and others are considered closed. If you do not have the millions required to litigate this mess, it is probably the safest option.
