... if you have some info about someone who is trying to insert such data in the blockchain (i.e. IP adresses) then you should be safe.
imagine some fool uploading illegal porno to ordinals that doesn't use a fake ip.  Shocked

But miner wouldn't know personal information of that fool unless he/she contact miners directly (e.g. send email to miner from gmail). In most cases, miner only can obtain IP address of node which re-broadcast that transaction.

Im really concerned about child pornography, lets say some ones daughter being raped and murdered ending up on Bitcoin. Or racism or something that would make a nation say absolutely no to Bitcoin. Take the story of the Tank man on Tiananmen in China, Gov secrets. That will not be accepted when they see that this network will spread truth.

Unfortunately all of the already happen far before Ordinal exist. See these article,

Bitcoin should be good at one thing and one thing only.

I agree. But on technical level it's impossible to ensure Bitcoin only can be used as currency/payment method while remain decentralized/permissionless.
