Yes I believe that’s him. Yeah, he might be in cold sweat mode. I’ve been there, but not with legal issues just down servers. It sounded like he “was spoken to” by someone about the local laws. That’s gotta suck.

I'd probably close up shop entirely.

Yeah, who knows how good those admin tools are. Maybe he can nuke all content posted to and from certain instances at once?

He would need to run some SQL scripts to drop the content I think. I could be wrong though.

But as a rule, I'd defederate from ANYTHING NSFW image wise. Text NSFW is probably fine.

The liability is way to high.
