Why YSK: It appears several Lemmy Instances are flagged as suspicious and at least 1 instance intentionally using the name of ransomware. A couple of the big enterprise monitoring suites (Fortiguard, ZScaler) will flag your account and may end up with you being pulled into an office for an explanation, or worse.

TL;DR: Keep browsing to your local instance at work for now.

    This does not apply for most european users. Source: I am the one who gets these requests and anyone who isn’t a judge gets jack shit. Go pound sand. Anything else would be illegal under privacy and work laws. Even police wont get ANYTHING (judge will reject it) if the crime in question isn’t worth at least 2 years of jail time.

    Suspected malware domains just get blocked, no further action will ever take place.
