Seems like following the EU's rules - and use the below to have tags that could be placed on a post as per the EU categories?

As you can use their guidelines:

European Union (EU), there are several types of social media content that are considered illegal.

---

* Incitement to Terrorism: Any content that encourages or promotes terrorist acts, violence, or extremism is prohibited.

* Illegal Hate Speech: Social media posts that spread hate based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics are not allowed.

* Child Sexual Abuse Material: Sharing, distributing, or creating content related to child sexual abuse is strictly illegal.

* Infringements of Intellectual Property Rights: Posting copyrighted material without proper authorization violates intellectual property rights.

* Consumer Protection Violations: Misleading advertisements, scams, or fraudulent content that harms consumers are prohibited.

--

These rules are further strengthened by stricter regulations for four specific types of content, which have been harmonized at the EU level:

* Counter-Terrorism Directive: Addresses terrorist content.

* Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Directive: Focuses on combating child sexual abuse material.

* Counter-Racism Framework: Aims to prevent and combat racism and xenophobia.

* Copyright in Digital Single Market Directive: Deals with copyright infringement online1.

You could ideally put the EU illegal categories in a drop down like old Slashdot Style - but each mod who selects the same selection from the drop down adds a point to the tag - the post is removed upon some thresholds of the points.

This could be different for each reagion - and a post could be flagged with points for each region... so have a region selection, then the illegal tag list sets to that region. A post maybe could be tagged by multiple regions infractions based on where the mod sits?

Also - you can keep metrics for all posts flagged for what infraction types for - plus you can move them to the "if law enforcement needs this post S3 bucket" -- based on whatever time period the laws require.
