I am not willing to support any of that, and I will not use or support any relays that host such content. However, at the end of the day, Nostr is just a protocol, like email. Just because bad people send malicious emails does not mean that using email is bad or should be avoided. Any illegal content or malicious activities should be reported to your relays and the authorities, just as you would normally do if you were the recipient of such content on any other platform. To my understanding, nostr relays run on clearnet. So it would be dump for them to host or tolarate anything illegal in the first place... Just my 2 sats. Cheers!

You are supporting it. It's already on the public relays people are using.
Nostr instructs that the content is not removed though, because removing content is apparently "censorship". As soon as you start saying it's fine to remove content, the purpose of the protocol ceases to matter and you may as well use http.
And so as a result the relays are used by the existing apps are not moderated and so you literally share a platform with illegal content. This is not theoretical, illegal content exists on the platform and short of only using moderated relays that remove content, nothing can be done to stop it.
It should also be noted that from a legal standpoint it's not just the relays at risk, if the front ends and apps support access to the it then they also have a legal duty to remove illegal content for any jurisdiction they operate in. I doubt "it's a protocol" will carry much weight in court when developers are defending their apps allowing access to child sexual assault images.
I don't know where you guys are roaming but I haven't seen a single pedo post since December when I came here 🤷.
Nostr app devs bear the same responsibility a browser dev does. It's all you on how you're using the browser.
And probably pedo posts are gov agents fishing 🎣...
