Nobody is arguing these points..
Anyone is required to report child pornography..
Anyone can launch an investigation of their own
Anyone can moniter services they run
Anyone can refuse to serve anyone.
None of these are the problem.. The problem is when they SUSPEND and HOJACK(i.e. not allow transfer ) service based on allegations with no merit.. Otherwise every adult website is susceptible to be shutoff without warning based on no evidence and the onus is on you to "prove" your innocence every time an allegation is made.
