how to go straight to jail 101

    You are only downloading metadata, and csam content is filtered. But yes, I would also rate it as a legally risky activity

      Filtered how? By some keywords I don't want to know? What about encrypted zips of CSAM? There's no way to filter that in reality.

      If you want to learn more about why and you can either speak German or can handle youtubes auto translate i recommend this documentation on the matter[0]. The Pedo Criminals are using scene methods to share their illegal content.

        Yes, a simple keyword list in the classifier, matched on the torrent name and file names. Easy enough to find in the source if you look for it. That filter won't help against people uploading CSAM as documents.7z. But any filter that would want to do something against that would require downloading the content, which would be even more illegal (in addition to being wildly impractical)

        why not just exclude encrypted zips?

    Does running an indexer and crawler help make the content available to others, or why would this be legally risky? Why would anyone care about what kind of Docker container I run on my home server?
