100%. The risks of running fedi-services that veer off SFW content is immense in a lot of places.

The really terrifying thing that people misunderstand because TV drama is that the feds knocking at your front door is the last step of an investigation, not the first.

If the FBI is knocking on your door wanting to talk about illegal content you're hosting, they've ALREADY served warrants/subpoenas to your hosting providers and ISP and anyone else they think might have useful data, had a PRTT on you for a while watching everything you do online, and have had a prosecutor decide you're someone that they want to prosecute and lock the fuck up.

They're there to see if they can scare you into saying something against your interests, and could maybe change their mind if you can explain what's going on in a way that's protected. Of course, they're much more reasonable than local cops, but seriously: the FBI at your door is the last stop BEFORE you end up in federal prison for the next decade.
