What happened?

Self explanatory, the title says it all.

The About.md file has not been updated in 2 years now, and the website points to this file.

Explicitly outline these in the AUP:

• Conspiracy theories and misinformation
• Racism, homophobia, transphobia and other forms of hate speech

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

Sharing any kind of copyrighted content, or any type of content that violates another person's personal, intellectual property or other rights. This includes any content that would violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

I understand and agree with the intention of this, however the wording can be improved.

The issue is "[s]haring any kind of copyrighted content". There are three cases in which this is legal and should be allowed:

• The person sharing it is the copyright holder (which is true for any significant portion of original enough text).
• The person sharing it has been authorized by a copyright holder.
• In that specific case, sharing that content falls under an exception to copyright.

Even in these three cases, one is technically sharing copyrighted content, so is in violation of the literal meaning (not the intention) of the first phrase of this clause and, since the rest is in disjunction, of the clause as a whole.

I believe the clause should be rephrased such that its literal meaning aligns with its intention.
