"Imagine someone sending you a link that you open and then now you have child porn or whatever else on your hard drive, cached. Quite a shitty situation to be in."

I guess the correct legal approach would be to go to police with this.

And the correct technical approach to keep online spaces clean, is the ability to kick, mute or ban people who violate the rules.

Saying, "just be mentally prepared" sounds to me like accepting it. Well, I don't. I go somewhere else.

I did not use the term "mentally prepared" because I thought it was appropriate, I was just quoting the other guy. I find it silly, too. I will not "accept" child porn or other degeneracies.

Exactly! You should be going somewhere else. Another Matrix instance, or at the very least another room, and you will be fine.

Well, but I never decided to hang around for longer. Maybe it is because the moderation tools are simply lacking? I would miss the option of not restricting certain users to send pictures in a group.

I am not sure if it is currently possible in Matrix, but it is not a bad idea to be able to restrict sending pictures (among other things), I agree.

I just read some complaints with links in sibling comments and sadly no, not possible. Maybe even hard to implement, because of the protocol.
