We know what happens to totally unmoderated social platforms: you get 8chan, child porn, and the absolute worst content humanity produces. It's not just about legal liability, it's about what community you curate.
- zionic 6y agoThis appears to be a common flaw in human reasoning. Email has sent countless child porn. BitTorrent as well. SMS? Check. Everyone understands you don’t blame AT&T when someone texts CP, but to wrap a pretty UI around your protocol and suddenly the unwashed masses expect you to be the sole arbiter of truth and legality for everything that flows over said protocol.
