Hmm, you have a good point. From a legal perspective, not sure from an ethical perspective.
(And I don't mean this, as a way to question yours or lichess ethics)
> I'm not sure how reasonable it is to expect the Lichess moderators to have to begin interpreting the Geneva Convention.
I agree, I mentioned something similar in #1.
This is one of the reasons, as to why I made this thread.
>For example, a body of a dead soldier doesn't breach the Geneva Convention, but it'd certainly breach Lichess mod rules.
Look at the picture in #55:

This is the same link I gave in #11, same link also shows faces of PoW.
> Lichess also isn't hosting the image,

> As to GDPR, those rights only apply (globally) to EU citizens.
I will have to disagree, my reasons is based on this GDPR's recital:
