Speaking of which, hasn't SESTA/FOSTA come into effect on January 1st? From my understanding, it kills section 230 ded, so juridical responsibility for illegal material falls to the host now, not the uploader. It might not affect e621 now, but if the USA were to pass a law banning loli or somesuch, the lack of protection once provided by section 230 would mean big trouble, wouldn't it?

Wait,so if someone in the US uploads pics of kids masturbating on a public website that means Google is promoting child pornography?
scrap that, Google isn't US-hosted.

what if I link to kids masturbating on a US-hosted site? Would that mean they're promoting child pornography?
