gollark: What is this ”project” of which you speak?
gollark: I just block all ads everywhere unless they follow some standards (no persistent tracking, static images only, clearly delineated ads, small out of the way ones), since it's basically the only thing I can do to influence advertisers.
gollark: Practically, assuming you have remotely user-controllable computers and stuff, and you can't meddle with the network, you probably can't do much to stop people from doing necromancy outside of saying "WARNING: bargaining with mysterious entities on the extranet is a Bad Idea™".
gollark: I was referring to filtering "liches and other stuff necromancers stumble upon".
gollark: *Can* they actually filter that (EDIT: referring to "liches and other stuff necromancers stumble upon") in practice, given the whole "end to end encryption" thing, apart from somehow not letting those on the network?
