    Law enforcement would probably shut down such instances faster than the rest of Lemmy could collectively defederate them.

    Hosting such stuff on the clear web is basically asking for a joint FBI, NCA and other major law enforcement agency raid on your premises.

      I don’t know, law enforcement can be pretty slow. I definitely see a few cease and desists happening before any real action, and as soon as that starts, the sane instances defederate.

      Regardless, the point is, they get taken care of in one of a multitude of ways.
