@zelphirkalt I am not a lawyer, but big U.S. companies like youtube, vimeo, etc. leverage Section 230 of the (U.S.) Communications Decency Act of 1996 in order to mostly protect themselves from scenarios that you referenced (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230). Yes, they still take stuff down, but the intent of this section of the law was to protect YOU and those other companies. Of course, there is big discussions about removing this protection...But for now, this is what those big boiys/girsl use, so why not use it youyrself? Of course, *DO CONTACT* your legal technology representative to be sure.
