That’s an interesting analogy. I used graffiti in another post trying to put some context to the problem.
In a small community like a bar, it’s reasonable to expect the owner to take down offensive content (for their reputation if nothing else).
In a bar with millions of people, that’s definitely harder. Amazon can afford it, but on the other side: should volunteer fediverse instance admins be required to review every post?
Graffiti is not a great analogy because it's not what your property is made for. If you had a wall on your property that you made publicly accessible specifically for graffiti, then you may be responsible for what you allow to stay up on it. Otherwise, it's just someone vandalising your property.
