Why you can't stop 'abuse' of file sharing services

I hope that everyone will agree that filtering 'banned' content(whatever that is in your local jurisdiction) is in practiceimpossible. Users are happy to rename files and otherwise obscurethem in order to evade machine inspection, and no one can afford tohand audit everything that is being shared.

(Arguing that people must hand audit things anyways basicallyamounts to arguing that no one can run a file sharing service.)

This means that the only thing you can really do to deter this bannedcontent is to make your

Unbeknownst to most of consumers, manufacturers around the globe have been quietly trimming the content of their packaged products to maintain their profit margins. People might read intently the price tag during shopping and complain about the
