I'm no expert, but piecing together what I've read, content moderation will not really be a thing. Instead there will be content labeling services which can be provided by third parties. You would subscribe to a labeling feed then use those labels to filter content you didn't want to be visible.

Pretty much yeah. Like the web, filtering happens on the read side, not the write side. This:

- Dodges any free-speech issues

- Gives individuals more choice and control over what they see

- Allows labellers to not worry as much about false-positives because their impact is limited by the above, which means they can use more automation, etc.

I'm not buying it.

- Allows hate speech to hide in plain sight.

- Allows plausible deniability that you aren't the nazi bar.

- May allow moderation labeling to be used as a form of harassment, by intentionally using labels inaccurately.

- Does not actually absolve you of the write-side responsibility to filter illegal content.
