      You’d be surprised by how much of the Internet was built by furries, BDSM folk, and other people whose porn a lot of folks think is weird and icky.

      Also, you seem to have misunderstood the gist of my comment, or I wasn’t clear enough. The tools to deal with CSAM will of necessity be a lot stronger than content moderation that’s driven by users’ preferences of what they’d like not to see.

          I’m talking about the necessities of moderation policy.

          The things you think it’s “suspect” I’m not saying? Those are things I think are obviously true and don’t need to be restated. Yes, child abuse is very bad. We know that. I don’t need to say it over again, because everyone already knows it. I’m talking specifically about the needs for moderation here.

          I’m pointing at the necessary distinction between “you personally morally object to that material” and “that material will cause the law to come down on you and your users and anyone who peers with you”.

          You should have the ability to keep both of those off your server, but the latter is way more critical.
