It's infeasible to make sure a server is only accepting "legal" content. I've never heard of a case of someone being jailed because his system involuntarily received some data that happens to be illegal. Normally what happens if there is illegal data that anyone cares about, the hoster is contacted and told to remove it.

>it just doesn’t seem worth the risk.

Well, the concern is only yours.

This does raise the point that if police contact you to remove some data you are hosting for someone, you lose money, and they will likely not give you back whatever money you lost (all the more reason it should be fully anonymous like Freenet but IPFS and co are obsessed with trying to solve every use case in the world including legal compliance).
