I feel like, even on non-anonymous platforms, the onus is on a prosecutor to figure it out. Moderators should do their best effort but it is an impossible task. Would you hold a mail carrier liable for what they deliver?
Mail carriers, logistics companies, and couriers often X-ray contents for hazard or illegal materials.
Yes, but not the contents of letters, which is a closer equivalent.
Letters aren't being posted publicly either though
Maybe graffiti? I’m not really sure what my legal obligations are if someone were to put a public-facing obscenity on my property. I’d clean it up, but it would be a lot harder if it happened thousands of times a day.
