Any online service that lets users upload material that is then publicly visible will eventually be used for command-and-control, copyright infringement and hosting CSAM. This is especially true for services that have other important uses besides file hosting and hence are hard to block.

This already happened to Twitter[1], Telegram[2], and even the PGP key infrastructure[3], not to mention obvious suspects like GitHub.
