It will be.
Imgoat has been under attack since launch- I've put measures in place to prevent people from uploading CP and other illegal content, including manually reviewing content at least once per day. Unfortunately, it's impossible to block everything- malicious users can hind behind proxies, VPN's, and Tor.
There's also a double-standard when it comes to smaller sites versus huge ones like Imgur and Instagram. Big sites don't get dropped for the actions of just a few users, small ones do. Nothing much I can do about that, except take frequent backups, fight as long as possible, and be prepared to change hosts and CDN's if necessary. Lately, some changes have had to be made.

hey it's sanegoat.
i've always supported you, and want to continue to support you into the future.
afaik, you run the only legit image host on the internet, and have never taken the massive personality shift the likes of atif, justin, kek.gg's owner and others.
people like you, man. really, you're an inspiration to learn to code and build sites for the good of free speech, the truth. you're one of the reasons i've done all i've done the past couple years.
sorry you're under attack and shit. any thoughts on a possible anti-cp algo that compares limb sizes of human forms in pictures (to compare kids vs. adults) and sexuality of poses/clothing (picture of kids with parents at beach vs. cp) to auto-delete it? don't know if that exists or is possible, just thinkin' aloud.
seriously. people like you and me need to make a host for sites like ours. lol jk look up holochain.

You realize imgoat has been used for months to post cp? The place is comprised. The pedophiles dv me everytime I've mentioned this. Check @aged account and his v/youngladies posts. Inb4 pedo
Imgoat is one of the few sites that displays uploads publicly, so you can see the newest uploads as soon as I can. Kek, imgTC, etc., can just as easily be hosting CP, the only difference is you never know about it while they have time (sometimes hours) to clean it up. Sadly, there are asshole out there who want to take advantage of the open nature of our platform.
A possible solution is pre-approving images before they're shown on the "explore" page, though I'm not sure I'm ready to make that change.

Did a government entity take over their site? Why is imgoat responsible for every random thing that gets uploaded? That's like fining a community announcement board that people staple their lost dog pictures to. Just delete any cp and move on.
Meanwhile Facebook acts like a publisher and a curator because they promote and delete content they like and don't like but i don't see any government take over of their website when someone uploads things that are illegal.
