On: Show HN: File.io – Ephemeral file sharing

[pekk]

Do you think that it makes sense for a new ephemeral files hosting site to signal that it accepts child porn on its servers, in a jurisdiction where child porn is completely illegal and can potentially get the creators of the site onto a sex offender list? Is that wise? Why are we punishing people for being careful about this?

CYA language on a FAQ is not prevention. I am guessing that they are not performing heuristic analysis of uploaded files against NCMEC databases.

Is the NCMEC hashset even publicly available? Last time I checked you have to "partner" with them in order to possibly get a copy.
