If you've created a service with that many users, that could be a target for malicious actors, and also hosts NSFW content, you may want to look over this article and protect yourself by forming an LLC.

LLCs won't protect you completely. That's a myth.

Parent didn't say anything about complete protection? An LLC does offer some level of protection, albeit mostly liability protection (as implied by the name, Limited Liability Company), and in this case I would be more worried about the need to defend against overzealous law enforcement requests. I'm not sure an LLC really helps much in that context. It's more about being able to afford a good legal team.

For what they're referring to, there is no personal protection. You can be personally liable for neglecting to protect against illegal sexual content even through an LLC.

This is what keeps most people from hosting user content. It's very easy to do, but it opens you to massive personal liabilities.

Thanks!

If you have time for a web interface, that would probably give some folks a better sense of security.
