Even if it's just a recommendation on a different group in which to ask the question, I'm curious how Lemmy combats criminal activity and content like human trafficking, smuggling, terrorism, etc?

Is it just a matter of each node bans users when they identify a crime, and/or problematic nodes are defederated if they tolerate it?

And if defederated, does that mean each node has to individually choose to defederate from the one allowing criminal activity?

Well, at minimum, instance operators could find themselves in legal jeopardy if they do not, depending on their local laws.

Many people would also make a moral argument for the enforcement of certain laws, but I infer from your comment that you don’t agree with such ideas.

For example, gun control often takes the form of "making it unreasonably hard for poor people to arm themselves"
