    No one is stopping you from standing up your own instance and quickly learning how legally exposed you are the moment you run a forum the way you’re advocating for.

      legally exposed

      What do you mean by that? Is that to say that I might be held responsible if my instance picked some other instance that was hosting illegal content as though I were a “redistributor” or something?

        All I’m saying is ask yourself why all the news communities here have had to crack down on folks copy-pasting articles wholesale.

        What are you going to do when people flood your instance with CSAM? Are you going to personally watch every post on every community?

        This stuff is a minefield man. And if you’re hosting it, you can bet your ass you’re the first call on the FBI’s (or your nation’s equivalent) list.
