Doesn't change the fact that this is an issue. Besides, do you think American law applies everywhere?

When did I say it was new? Maybe I'm reminding people about this issue from months ago and that it needs more attention? Maybe I want admins to know about the issue so they can do something about it?

Issue has been opened two months ago: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3236 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3504

Whether it's illegal content or storage-filling DoS attacks, the issue needs to be addressed.

This is for public instances.

You don't need to selfhost to reproduce this. Anyone can do this and that's the problem.

Feel free to open the issue on my behalf. I am not a software developer. You seem to know more about this. I'm just reminding people something that I and many others have observed months ago.

Most admins aren't in the USA. But that's not really the issue here is it?

This is one way to solve it.

Very much needed.

Except admins need to go through the database to catch it. Mods can't catch it. Admins without access to the database or object storage can't catch it.

Yes - that's possible.
