I found this interesting and was wondering how some of the larger instances handle the issues they outline such as

Copyright/DMCA Safe Harbor CSAM Law enforcement/warrants/info inquiries

And not included (since it’s focus is on US legal issues) but I’m curious about would be other regulations such as EU user data retention

Do non-US instances have to handle DMCA requests like US instance with european users have deal GDPR requests?

Not sure. I’d guess they do if they’re in a country that has a mutual IP treaty with the US but that’s definitely a question for a lawyer.

I can imagine that even hosting your own instance that copies down the content and only federates out your comments or non copyrighted material can be tricky depending on how the fediverse works (where’s an uploaded image kept when it federated out to a server?).

Is there a copy or just a reference to the original instance?

I’d be really interested in knowing how that works
