We need radical criminal penalties on the books for facilitating malware with ads. You shouldn’t be able to wash your hands of being a major malware distributor.

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.
