Running a Mastodon instance in the US? Make sure you understand your potential liability and protect yourself. Here are some things to consider:
1. Organizing under some form of incorporation to create a layer of liability protection.
2. Carrying an umbrella liability insurance policy.
3. Familiarizing yourself with 17 USC §512 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512, and registering with the US Copyright Office to receive DMCA reports (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).
4. Preregistering with the NCMEC (National Center for Missing & Exploited Children) to deal with CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material).
