How likely is it you end up downloading child porn on behalf of them? In other words, how well curated or specific is the list of download jobs your node gets assigned? If it's something like "just grab everything from this blog platform" I guess chances are not zero.

I think you would be more likely to win the lottery without playing.

That type of content has long moved from clearnet to the darknet. I would be inexplicably surprised if that type of content can be found on the clearnet. But I still can be wrong.

However if you're in the US loli hentai is going to be a risk and legal headache for sure https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/blog/is-loli-illegal-in-the-uni...

As far as I'm aware, maybe excepting Australia (?) as well, in the rest of the world that type of content is not something they'll classify as child pornography, you'll just get a few sketchy looks.

A fraction of it.

That kind of content is a single internet search away.

My experience has shown that list to be extremely well-curated. See https://wiki.archiveteam.org/#Warrior-based_projects for the current list.

Though if you join the Reddit archival project, all bets may be off but that's not AT team's fault, I guess.
