I wouldn't be surprised if some site like 8chan was happy to completely remove moderation/filtering if the federal penalties for unknowingly distributing CP were removed.

Basically, "look at 8chan! Even they restrict CP, so everyone supports moderation!" doesn't actually follow, since 8chan is legally required to restrict CP under federal law, unknowing or not.

But maybe not, given that there is a lot of different interpretations of what is illegal and judgment calls have to be made over that, as well as issues of jurisdiction and even issues involving laws that may be unconstitutional.

If every country could impose its standards on the Internet, there'd be no Internet. It's only worked so far because the US has strong free speech rights, and has dominated.

I was thinking China, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, etc.

But then, in the EU, you have the Right to be Forgotten ;)

Your post is illegal? Where?

In the jurisdiction of the server? The poster? The moderator? Anywhere in the world?
