   Do a search for:   
   server side spam filters can be used for nefarious purposes   
      
   0 results.   
      
   A spam filter is basically a full-text search for keywords.   
      
   Most server side spam filters are subscribed to centralized spam filter   
   networks.   
      
   Who is responsible for these networks? Do they have security clearances?   
   EIG, hosts, for instance, allow overseas (read India), to have access to   
   basically everything at Tier 2 support.   
      
   Think about how you could use a completely transparent full text search   
   for, say, nefarious purposes; Like looking for credit card numbers, or   
   passwords, etc etc etc.   
      
   ** No amount of 'security' is relevant, as it runs server side, and can   
   access ANYTHING on the server given the right motivation. **   
      
   Look at what happened to Discord?   
      
   Now imagine it at scale, say, with EIG hosting, or WIX (Israel), or   
   Hostinger (Lithuania).
