Again, there's a nuance here. It's probably a real letter. But their demands have no legal grounds. They can demand it, but you're not obligated to comply. Exactly | 13:17:35 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | Taking things down is a GOOD IDEA in case they really want the project to die | 13:17:58 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | but giving them what they ask sounds too much | 13:18:19 |
| cadence [they] | nobody in here is a lawyer, and the company sending this definitely is, so I don't trust any of you to give good advice about what is legal | 13:18:30 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | I really hope the EFF cares enough to provide help | 13:18:33 |
 msmith12 | Right now on the docs im removing mention of "instagram" and will submit patch | 13:18:43 |
| msmith12 | Sicne that is the lowest hanging fruit, the more complicated stuff cadence can make decision before we/I start work on the harder stuff | 13:19:37 |
 narf | Companies do that all the time. They use fear to get what they want, because that's the only way they'll get it. Because they have no legal grounds. | 13:19:51 |

nobody in here is a lawyer, and the company sending this definitely is, so I don't trust any of you to give good advice about what is legal the only advice is "Facebook can demand literally whatever they want, whether you want to comply is up to you. Get a lawyer if you want to know what your actual legal exposure is" | 13:19:57 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | A lawyer is expensive | 13:20:35 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | But yes, that's the idea | 13:20:41 |
| narf | Also, they are legal ways to use trademarks. We see that all the time when for example, Apple talks about Spotify. There's a little * that says "Spotify is a trademark of Spotify Inc" or something like that. | 13:22:57 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | It's complicated... because there's no precedent, alternative frontend/ways to access platform are "new" the closest we ever got to a project like that getting legal trouble was the youtube-dl DMCA | 13:24:22 |
| cadence [they] | I want to remove their product name to make me unsearchable also. | 13:24:32 |
| cadence [they] | There's 2 reasons I want to do it | 13:24:50 |
