We know what happens to totally unmoderated social platforms: you get 8chan, child porn, and the absolute worst content humanity produces. It's not just about legal liability, it's about what community you curate.

This appears to be a common flaw in human reasoning.

Email has sent countless child porn. BitTorrent as well. SMS? Check.

Everyone understands you don’t blame AT&T when someone texts CP, but to wrap a pretty UI around your protocol and suddenly the unwashed masses expect you to be the sole arbiter of truth and legality for everything that flows over said protocol.

Point to point communications platforms are different than social media / publishing platforms.

How cognizant is your average user of that though?

A P2P facebook that broadcast your profile to another in a standard way would fool 99+% of users.

Unless you're suggesting that a centralized algorithmic feed is a critical part of the FB experience.
