Are you just signed up for permanent content moderation assisted by some tooling?

That liability sounds absolutely terrifying to me…

Isn’t this still just data in a database that can be deleted? Perhaps not very transparent of the instance owner, but I’d rather sacrifice complete transparency for compliance with the law
