No it's not a possibility. Social media is paid for by advertising and no large advertiser wants to have their ads show up next to child pornography. Just look at what happened with Youtube.
- betterunix2 6y agoUnmoderated forums also lose users to moderated forums, because nobody wants to sift through a pile of trolls, nazis, pedophiles, etc. just to find something on-topic. I have seen it happen with Usenet, with any number of loosely moderated mailing lists, websites, and so forth. Users want some degree of moderation, and advertisers are going to gravitate toward the platforms with the most users.
