I accidentally built a nudity/porn platform
- anything that allows file upload -&gt; porn &#x2F; warez &#x2F; movies &#x2F; any form of copyright violation you care to come up with.<p>- anything that allows anonymous file upload -&gt; childporn + all of the above.<p>- anything that allows communications -&gt; spam, harassment, bots<p>- anything that measures something -&gt; destruction of that something (for instance, google, the links between pages)<p>- any platform where the creator did not think long and hard about how it might be abused -&gt; all of the abuse that wasn&#x27;t dealt with beforehand.<p>- anything that isn&#x27;t secured -&gt; all of the above.<p>Going through a risk analysis exercise and detecting the abuse potential of whatever you are trying to build <i>prior</i> to launching it can go a long way towards ensuring that doesn&#x27;t happen. Reacting very swiftly to any &#x27;off label&#x27; uses for what you&#x27;ve built and shutting down categorically any form of abuse and you might even keep it alive. React too slow and before you know it your real users are drowned out by the trash.<p>It&#x27;s sad, but that&#x27;s the state of affairs on the web as we have it today.
