Thanks for the advice nexthash. It is something that's been concerning me, and is one of the reasons I'm not currently allowing embedded images in posts -- I don't want to have to deal with hosting pornography and all the pains that come with that.
Shady content, potential copyright infringements, it's a can of worms all right.
- selfishgene 6y agoWhat about libel?
- ben509 6y agoAllow audio uploads and you can deal with slander, too!
- nexthash 6y agoYep, and also linking to other websites can be an issue, like phishing, porn, malware, etc. It is a very big can of worms but from my experience the second spammers discover your site it becomes their new home base and will get your domain blacklisted pretty quickly.
- DarrenDev 6y agoDid you find solutions to that yourself with your own app?
- nexthash 6y agoPersonally my project never was the type to require such vigilance - 'content moderation' consisted of sshing into the server and deleting any objectionable posts directly. The factor you have to consider is shareability - the links are private, but if they are shared enough they might put your site under scrutiny. Never mattered for me, if anything I would just take my project offline and reset it. A while back there was a fruitful discussion about this topic for a new link-sharing service, and could give you some pointers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25870504 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25870504 A quick skim reveals some link-filtering services and libraries do exist, such as: http://uribl.com/ http://uribl.com/ https://www.spamhaus.org/ https://www.spamhaus.org/ Good luck!
