Probably arrange it such that not one person/server knows what the stored bytes are. There can be a server where the bytes/blocks get reconstructed where one can check for the bad stuff.

That doesn't solve the cost problem. Now all the traffic is going through that intermediate server, and someone has to pay for that.

Still, hosting costs were the reason for discussing legal liability. Such a server also increases centralization which isn't ideal.
