People are currently discussing about the legal implications of storing images coming from federated Mastodon instances. A lot of this stems from an influx of users at pawoo.net, a Mastodon instance set up by Pixiv, posting CP and CP-like content.

As response, a lot of instances have defederated from pawoo.
