(For smaller communities that can maintain strict moderation, it isn't going to be much of a problem, I assume).
My prediction - Twitter and Reddit will ban adult content entirely as soon as in the upcoming year, hoping it will save their ass. But they will probably follow the same path as Tumblr went, and as a result - losing most of its userbase and market value.

Think about this website for a moment... What if there was no moderation here and people who were in the shady side of shit were free to post snuff films or CP. Is it not the forum owner's responsibility to remove that content?
Of course it is, and yes this is a user-generated site and a social network but you wouldn't think twice about them deleting CP & snuff films ect because obviously, they should if it were ever posted.
So why would anyone think that other user-generated social media platforms shouldn't be responsible for moderating their content? Of course, they should be. If you think you can hide from responsibility as a site owner by claiming user uploaded content.. well you will be in for bad surprise one day.
