[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago (4 children) What content is RD blocking and how could you tell? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Zedstrian@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (3 children) Real-Debrid and a couple other Debrid providers are now actively complying with DMCA takedown requests, so lots of content will simply say that it was taken down due to such a request.
