It's almost like creating a platform where the intent is for users to post content without any kind of curation or manual review is itself a flawed idea. I understand how tempting the whole thing is, to set up a platform that allows you to be a passive middleman and take a cut of all activity on the platform.

Should be a law that if a platform is making money from something, it is also responsible for that content. Curation shouldn't be enforced by law, but the legality of the content should be, whether it be illegal on its own like in this case or fraud. Ads included.

You do realise how ironic posting that to Lemmy of all places is?

I'm talking about the commercial platforms where the idea is to scale up to the point where some small fee results in large revenues and companies often scale beyond their capacity to review the content of their platform. Others end up hurt in the process while the company makes money from it.
