Looks fantastic! As someone who has done it before, if this gets popular you'll run into some abusive users that you'll want to deal with. Microsoft will often give out free access to it's PhotoDNA service for detection of explicit images of minors. VirusTotal will often do the same for malware in exchange for samples. You'll also want to have a structured retention process, e.g. size is inversely proportional to storage time.
Good luck, get in contact (see my profile) if you run into any issues.
wow thank you so much for the tips! I had mostly just worried about piracy and thought that the maximum 24 hour retention policy would be "good enough". Naively, I had not thought of things I'd want to nip right in the bud (Like CP). So I will definitely be looking into the solutions you've mentioned. Thanks again!
Hackers like to use these types of services (eg pastebin) as remote C&C servers too where infected computers both retrieve commands from them and also exfiltrate data to them
Thanks for flagging this! I will definitely be doing a deep dive into all this this weekend
