Instead of littering the code with more and more complex rules to mitigate abuse, 0x0 should support extensible filtering stages implementing various checks:

Before upload: Check source against block list, DroneBL, etc.
During upload: Content checks that support streaming, e.g. YARA, NSFW detection, ClamAV…
After upload: Content checks that do not support streaming but may still alter the response
After response: Content checks that run after the response has been served. May include things that are too slow or impractical.
