Work keeps me quite busy. I honestly would have tried giving it a go if not.
Hope someone else is inspired to.

That’s fine, but don’t tell me to do more privacy work for free just because I’m already doing some! 
Like you, I have a job, and I have a family. Life is busy.

I’m not telling you. I was only suggesting. Geez, you read that wrong.

My hunch regarding tech news delays is this forum likely wants less rushed, clickbait news and more information before it spreads panic.
Like that 404media article recently about “Proton helping the FBI”, which mislead a lot of people to think Proton was corrupt or lying about their service integrity, and their CEO made a statement to try and correct the nonsense.
Reddit took that headline and swayed a lot of people away from Proton, but it faired better here as people actually read the article. I do think that article was posted quickly on the PG forum, but there are plenty of other sites where I get hysteria via “breaking news”. I’d rather a bit more thoughtful information here, which means slower news updates.
Idk, this is just my guess. I usually get my breaking tech news from my RSS feed, and then discuss here later.

As someone who has, in the past, moderated a small online community (at the request of the community owner), I have immense appreciation, empathy, and sympathy for moderators of any online community (including Privacy Guides).
I do still think there are some things in the Privacy Guides community that could use some clarity, and some improvements that could be made, but we should go about this in a respectful and civil manner.

You copied pasted an entire article… of course the mods are going to take it down. They don’t want to get DMCAd.

Off-Topic I guess: „They don‘t wanna get DMCAd“
Just want to say that this depends on the article and this does not apply always — if the website didn‘t had some noarchive/noindex tag in the robots.txt, they implicitly consented to have copies of them floating around in the internet. That‘s the legal foundation out of which the Internet Archive and similar organizations do their job.

Still Offtopic
A. Thank you for this very detailed and good explanation why “Not how that works in the slightest“.
B. Yeah then in this case it might’ve reasonable to take the post down.
Still, your post is inaccurate and/or misunderstandable, that was why I wrote the reply. And yes, that is how that can work and in fact how it even DID work in the past. WebCite - Wikipedia

That’s regarding snapshots/caching of a site. The user did not link to the internet archive or other cached copy. He copied and pasted the text directly from the site into a new post.

As much as I find this side discussion around DMCA/”Copying and pasting whole articles” interesting I am not sure it really pertains to the main focus of this topic. That main focus being:
and discussion around:
I’m in no way trying to “end” this side conversation, and y’all are welcome to continue it in DM’s or a separate topic, I just want to keep this main topic fairly orderly and on topic.

When I added this link I forgot that I’m a paying subscriber to Firewalls, which means I get bonus interview content. Some of the points I referred to are in that section. Sorry if that caused confusion. I usually listen to the bonus content right after the main interview, so I think of these as one whole.
Thanks @win11.shading291 for making me aware of this!
