The thing that concerns me the most about federated content, is that a malicious actor could post something horrible/illegal (CSAM as the obvious example) and that gets replicated across the instances. Now those instances are “hosting” the content and could be held liable for it. A major corporation can pay lawyers to say the content was user posted and they are not responsible (happens all the time) but your average Lemmy admin does not have the same resources to defend themselves.

This is me and I’m mad about it.
