The #ContentNation situation is a dumpster fire for the #Fediverse. What would you do if you were building something, people misunderstood what it was, and things escalated to a point that someone loaded CSAM onto your server for the sake of reporting it?

@hello As a rule of thumb, if someone doesn't know about a piece of content, they can't be held liable for it.

That is an immunity derived from E.U. Law for content providers. Comparing it to other cases is very oranges to apples. That said, someone posting highly odious content like that can still cause issues.

If someone is doing that deliberately, they run the risk of running into the FBI / Interpol.
