It's not done at all - and there are no top lists. It's a vacuum. The main ray of hope here is the EU's Digital Services Act, which will hopefully force them to provide info


This is an awesome awesome list! Thank you for adding /about and /ideas! It also reminded me to have a proper look for awesome-personal-sites or similar, and there are a few:

Oh wow, that is so cool! We hadn't come across it, nice UX too. Thanks for posting


.er TLD does exist, but not available for registration AFAIK

But since you mention GambiNO, if I were to move to Norway and become resident, I could claim gambi.no, I think it's available

I'd then have to petition Glover to also move to Norway to take ownership of it

Seems pretty doable. Will start checking Zillow for Oslo


Love it - will add a section with more innovative approaches like this

e.g. was just chatting with a fellow cease-and-desist receiver, Mohammed Shah, who finds comfort in using a different misspelling for the name of the lawyer harassing him, every time he replies

Great for morale


Private Eye also does this, and not only in legal correspondence.

> The magazine often deliberately misspells the names of certain organisations, such as "Crapita" for the outsourcing company Capita, "Carter-Fuck" for the law firm Carter-Ruck, and "The Grauniad" for The Guardian (the latter a reference to the newspaper's frequent typos in its days as The Manchester Guardian). Certain individuals may be referred to by another name, for example, Piers Morgan as "Piers Moron", Richard Branson as "Beardie", Rupert Murdoch as the "Dirty Digger", and Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III as "Brenda" and "Brian", respectively.[0]

Thanks brother. By which I mean, you are literally my brother


I am completely unclear on whether publishing your project open source gives it (at least, the code, if not any deployed version) any kind of protection if Facebook etc. target it

I would love to get a lawyer's take on that, although I guess it would differ by jurisdiction - California and Ireland are probably the two key ones for most big tech


Good point. And thinking about it, I know cases where people have received C&Ds anyway while only using official APIs and services. Will edit


Yep, that's true - also something I need to reflect in the guide is it's important to understand which jurisdiction you're under, since that'll affect your rights

Usually the terms of service you sign up to make it clear which jurisdiction disputes would be adjudicated in

For me, as a UK citizen/resident it was Ireland. Which is great since I've never been there, but I've heard their courtrooms are lovely in the springtime


super useful to know - could I interview you about this to add to the guide? you can find contact details on my personal site louis.work
