If you host an instance and allow people to sign up and post, what is preventing bad actors from filling your storage with cp and other illegal shit?

Are you just signed up for permanent content moderation assisted by some tooling?

That liability sounds absolutely terrifying to me…

      @corytheboyd Yup there was a lot of drama about it I think related to twitter. because Trump wanted to remove section 230 or something and people were emphasizing how crucial it was to protect social media server hosts from legal liability of the users’ content.

        Oh goodness, yeah that kinda rings a bell now. I honestly wasn’t really paying a whole lot of attention to the world back then 🙈
