I'm talking about the necessities of moderation policy.
The things you think it's "suspect" I'm not saying? Those are things I think are obviously true and don't need to be restated. Yes, child abuse is very bad. We know that. I don't need to say it over again, because everyone already knows it. I'm talking specifically about the needs for moderation here.
I'm pointing at the necessary distinction between "you personally morally object to that material" and "that material will cause the law to come down on you and your users and anyone who peers with you".
You should have the ability to keep both of those off your server, but the latter is way more critical.
