      I mean… that is the big issue with things like tor and the decentralized youtube alternative everyone wants.

      This is an issue on Lemmy as well, one that very few so far seem to have wisened up to. If you host a server and federate it, your server will pull, store and display the content your users are watching for all to see. So you could be on the hook for distributing illegal material if you don’t preemptively defederate from instances potentially hosting content that is illegal for you to possess.

      I mean you could say the same thing about any entity hosting public wifi, but I doubt the local cafe owner has to worry when someone breaks the law on their guest network.

      This feels really inconsistent is the main problem.

        I mean he’s not. He did literally allow CP to be uploaded. And he literally wasn’t legally protected.

          But it’s kind of like arresting the gas station owner for allowing a drug deal in his parking lot.

      But I personally can’t support anything where “Oh well, I guess I accidentally supported the proliferation of CSAM”.

      Does this mean you’re opposed to, say, roads, because they can be used to transport child porn? How about postal services—they’ll even pick it up and deliver it wherever you want!
