"my instance to the cloud because I learned that if I even accidentally hosted anything it means immediate seizure,"
That sounds a bit extreme. You are not hosting csam on purpose. And most likely try to moderate as good as possible.
I actually believe more people should host their own server. And get rid of the cloud. Not moving more to the cloud.
Look up what “strict liability” means in a criminal law context.
Well, I'm willing to take the risk then. I host all my fediverse services at home.

It doesn’t matter if you’re intentionally hosting it.
