refalo , to Programmer Humor in Bored of the MIT and GPL Licenses? Switch From That Lame Old Legalese to One of These 10 Awesome Licenses!

can not know

Yes they can, the articles are named with the filename of the content that's in it, and the data itself is unencrypted. But I wasn't even talking about blocking uploads, just having content providers be able to take down existing content.

But get this, it's even worse in Switzerland because the provider is also now forced to keep that same content from reappearing! This is called the "stay down" rule.

country where only uploading is forbidden

No but content owners could directly DMCA stuff that's hosted on usenet, they just don't.

refalo , to Privacy in EFF "cover your tracks" browser privacy test

using the eff site is not accurate because it just tests your browser against all the other people that opted in to be tested, and an abnormally high percentage of people who tested explicitly turn(ed) off javascript, which is not representative of the normal web browsing public.
