So you’re saying that if a mod posted child porn, that the website should leave it up and let the chips fall where they may? That the website isn’t responsible if it stays up?
What I am saying is that it should not be up to a website company to decide whether something is legal or not. In all other businesses this has always been related to a judge deciding whether something was legal or not.
A newspaper is something related, in which case the editor has some responsibility if he lets something clearly illegal slip, however the responsibility falls on the journalist and not on the newspaper itself.
Frankly, I do not want social media - which is currently the main source of information for many and likely most people - to be justified in deciding what should be allowed and what should not.
If someone uses such platforms to do something illegal, there are indeed legal methodologies to deal with that.
