A major educators' organization just pulled the plug on its official presence over AI-generated child abuse material flooding the platform. Think about that for a second. When institutions this large start abandoning mainstream platforms, it signals something's seriously broken with how these networks handle content moderation and user safety.

This isn't just a PR stunt or temporary frustration—it's institutional-level distrust. The fact that AI-generated synthetic content exploiting minors is still proliferating despite billions in market cap and armies of moderators? That's a governance failure nobody can spin away.

For the Web3 community, this moment deserves real reflection. Decentralized platforms have been pitching community-driven moderation as an alternative. Whether that's actually better or just differently broken is the trillion-dollar question. One thing's certain though: when traditional gatekeepers lose public trust this publicly, it accelerates the search for alternatives—even imperfect ones.
