  Hi, for most stuff yeah, but for the worst category deleting isn't the end of it. in the US a provider that finds CSAM has to report it to NCMEC and preserve it, so it turns into paperwork pretty quickly. that's usually what makes people give up on free image hosts, more than the bandwidth

  In the US yeah. (CyberTipline though which IIRC goes to the FBI, not NCMEC themselves). Still, it's not difficult to delete an image such that it's no longer able to be served while still retaining it. Either way, I wouldn't be hosting in the US. I've run services that allow user-submitted content before, and all I ever had to do was delete on report.

  Besides if run it behind say cloudflare. they have an automated csam detector that helps and alerts.
  @jbiloh if want to look more into an option let me know. I can help out/host/manage.

  Side note: I'll be bringing IMGPARK.com and its greatness up and online soon!
  Thank you again @swat4 for the awesome domain!

  That's true, but I don't like MITM as a service. I care too much about privacy to use them.

  Agreed. But in this case its about ddos protection more or less.

  If only they didn't block Tor from even viewing it. I get blocking uploads from Tor if they're having issues with abuse, but straight-up dropping packets from even middle relays is ridiculous.

  Thank god for https://fatbox.moe/.
