see linked post. I believe this would count as one of the examples given in the federation policy https://lemm.ee/post/401063 :

An instance which is knowingly spreading CSAM into the federated network

    This creates a question. Not this specific content, but on the political side of the content. It may be illegal in US, but legal in Russia and vice versa.

    How does fediverse address this?

      it varies by jurisdiction, but a server hosted in the US would be obligated to avoid serving illegal content whether it was sent from another server, uploaded by the server owner, or posted by a user of the site, which I believe creates an obligation to defed from CP instances.

      Not relying on legalistic justifications, for one. Legality is a constraint of whoever the host would be arrested by. It's not a substitute for having your own standards. You shouldn't need a legal justification to ban pedos or nazis, no matter where you live. We can't stop them from making their own online spaces, but we are not obligated to share our spaces with them.
