    That’s not being right or wrong. That’s “as an instance admin/community mod I don’t want the feds knocking on my door” (as a resident of eagle land. Pick your LEO of choice elsewhere).

      Yeah, but that doesn’t answer the question.

      The best way to stop censorship is to make it impossible. So, if censorship is impossible, how would you handle illegal conversations?

        If it’s impossible to censor people, you would hardly have a strong prosecution arguing you should have done something impossible.

          That’s a good point.

          Prosecution might then assert that it was your responsibility to employ a system that DID allow for censorship. But I hate that one.

          Another option would be to refer the offender to the LEOs. Just shift responsibility. Heck, it could be said that you’re doing the LEOs a service. I like that one.

        Dude I legitimately can’t follow what you’re trying to say or accomplish here. You’re not giving us any context and now you’re putting forth some argument as if it’s been the point the whole time, but it’s the first you’ve made it. Can you just explain what you’re on about? Clearly you’re trying to litigate something that happened.
