A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

As an admin on a Lemmy instance, I don't like this idea. If I were to be personally, criminally held responsible for something one of our users put on the web...
Well, let's just say I'd be getting out of the Lemmy admin game. So would everyone else.
If you aren't making decisions about ad serving, obviously it wouldn't effect you. If you are choosing ads to serve, and don't care about their reputation, that's a problem regardless of how much it bothers you.
This is far more important then a few lazy web admins that want to profit from scamming their users.
