The problem is that read access for a user means the content is cached on the instance of that user, making the instance owner potentially liable if we are talking about content illegal in their jurisdiction.

Good point, I hadn't considered that. But an instance can still strive to keep its blocklist as small as legally possible. This wouldn't be a big issue in most liberal countries anyway I think.
