I’d imagine this will speed up defederation in some cases, but I’ve not run into any such material here.

I wouldn’t think it would be any more of a legal requirement than making sure you keep CSAM off your servers as with current laws, just now with deep fakes too.

I’m no legal expert, but isn’t posting porn of someone without their consent already covered somewhere in United States Code? Porn sites did quite the purge a few years ago. So I’m wondering what this solves, even if it were worded better.
