@dunderhead In a nutshell: everything is opt in. You connect only to people you want. You make only what you what public. And remember, you own and control your own space. You’re not on someone else’s server.

In Place, you’ll be able to block whomever you want. Also, your data lives only on your node. It is not replicated. I’m not even planning on having Place cache the data locally. That doesn’t mean it can’t be scraped (any publicly-accessible data can be scraped) but it, again, defaults to giving you control.

Beyond that, you’ll likely have your Small Web place though a Domain host (we will run our own at small-web.org). That host will have an acceptable use policy that they’ll enforce. They’ll be using a VPS provider and DNS provider. They will also have terms of use.

Even if you host it on a single-board computer at home, your ISP will have terms of use.

And beyond that there are local laws.
