Loli Art and Obscenity Laws on Federated Servers
The legal implications of hosting "Loli art" (anime-style depictions of minors) on federated servers are explored under 18 U.S. Code 1466. The hosts discuss whether caching such images makes a server admin liable for distributing obscene material. They compare the scrutiny of small Mastodon servers to the massive amounts of adult content hosted on platforms like Yahoo and Tumblr.
