Best of luck to the author! My understanding is that anything that makes large file sharing easy and anonymous rapidly gets flooded with CSAM and ends up shuttering themselves for the good of all. Would love to see a non-invasive yet effective way to prevent such an incursion.

For a case when file sharing is intended between individuals or small groups there's an easy solution:

Anyone who got the link should be able to delete the file.

This should deter one from using the file sharing tool as free hosting for possibly bad content. One can also build a bot that deletes every file found on public internet.

Or the link expires after a download.

The server would know when a download has completed.
