Your over-broad reading of this law would effectively

Wouldn't it? Unless you're going to support what appears to be an
unsupportable platform that "child porn" (or whatever you want to
call it) is somehow different from any other type of content such as
snuff films or instructions on how to build a fertilizer bomb or
detailed plans for the assassination a leading figure.
The question is whether the courts take a narrow reading of the
safe-harbor exemptions, which is what they are increasing tending to do
in other areas, such as copyright.
The main issue is whether the courts decide that the Foundation is
equivalent to godaddy and wordpress, or whether it is more like
Huffington Post.
