I recommend you immediately add identity verification (state-issued identification verification), set up appropriate secrets store for PII, and audit trail EVERYTHING your users are doing, storing the contents in a secure location. Yesterday. This service will be used to harm others, shortly. I do think that there are exciting, honest things that can be done with this service but you need to set up some friction for use. Know-your-customer rules are going to apply to this category in short time.

People here are talking about taking this service offline but I think everyone needs to be thinking about countermeasures, working on those services next. The genie is already out of the bottle. The degree of effort to put this together is low enough that it will be replicated around the world.
