Also, what happens if someone posts content that is legal in one country, but illegal in another? Can end users filter the content they host to content within their own country?

Examples: content about Tiananmen Square 1989.

OrbitDB are p2p database instances on top of IPFS, and front-ends or users can always filter the content they display.

Authors can always remove/delete their own posts from a thread, and threads also have a set of moderators. This needs to be set in the thread configuration.

More advanced moderation tools can be built on top, too.
