| Ow boy, my first real comment on HN, please be gentle! Okay, so I have something related to this. two paragraph back-story was cut... So I built SASRip[1], an Open Source website with an API that allows you to download audio or video from any web-page that is supported by youtube-dl (I use youtube-dl and ffmpeg to do muxing/transcoding). I also built a browser addon for it called Media Reaper[2] (chromium version available on SASRip's website[3]). Now, I wanted to build a no BS, no tracking website, so all I have is internal logs, these logs keep incoming requests like so: Time, URL, ID string, success/fail, the ID is just to tell where the request came from, web site, API call or the browser addon, I keep no IP data or anything like that, and boy do people download the nasty stuff, there is all kinds of nasty stuff, taboo stuff, feet stuff and stuff I didn't even know existed. Now I live in constant fear that someday, looking trough those logs I will find CP and I am not sure what I should do, I know implementing tracking methods goes against both my morals and the philosophy of the service, but at the same time I am not sure if I can keep on going, knowing I could do something about it but I am not. Ultimately I think it is very likely that I will shut the service down if I find CP on it, with no way of tracking the person down, perhaps leave a message with why I shut down. ---------------------------------------- P.S. I make no money on this service, it's purely donation based. P.P.S I know I can do muxing and transcoding via some really cool JS libraries, but I wanted to sharpen some of other skills with this project. ---------------------------------------- [1] - https://sasrip.cf/ [2] - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/media-reaper/ [3] - https://sasrip.cf/Home/MediaReaper |
