Windows is the No. 1 OS amongst cocaine, heroine and meth dealers. Time for a crackdown.
And here we go with the corporation funded clickbait folks…
And here we go.
This will be one of the Fediverse’s biggest obstacles.
Need to get this under control somehow or else in a few years, tech companies, banks, and regulators will decide a crackdown on the fediverse as a whole is needed.
The fediverse is the name for services that use ActivityPub - a communication protocol. What you are saying is like saying “tech companies, banks and regulators need to crack down on http because there is CSAM on the web”.

Would some sort of loosely organized group of instance admins help to make this happen? Like the U.N. for the fediverse? Sounds like a structured communication system would fix this.
A few years? I bet Threads is doing this right now to shut down every private instance and take the fediverse for themselves. They’ll argue they are the only one that can moderate the content due to their size/resources
You act like fediverse is one website, and its not.
I think they’re speaking from the point-of-view of an uneducated body of legislators and average people who will not understand this
It doesn’t matter what we know the nature of the fediverse to be – it matters how they perceive it, and uninformed people are perfect targets for this type of FUD
For example, the linked article exists
Far-right instances Gab and TruthSocial are also technically mastodon. By this metric mastodon also has a nazi problem.
Any software that allows people to communicate over the internet will be used by horrible people to do horrible things.
100% of all child abusers have drank water in the last two days. Clearly water is the problem here.
Well, then http[s] also has this problem
That’s like child molesters texting each other, and then saying “TELUS AND BELL ARE PERPETUATING A CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING RING”
Just added “Stanford researchers” to my list of stupid people
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/7/20/stanford-president-resigns-following-research-ethics-probe
The president of Stanford University has stepped down in the wake of an independent investigation that found “substandard practices” in research papers he was involved in.
Already plenty of support for your cause.

People need to read the actual report it is actually reasonable in its findings and actually offers solutions: https://cyber.fsi.stanford.edu/io/news/addressing-child-exploitation-federated-social-media
We need more tools, more automation, in order to fight the trash
Anything that allows people to escape their corporate controls will be ostracized by these people. I laugh in LEMMY
Shouldn’t it be possible to create open-source bots that use the same databases as the researchers to automatically flag and block that kind of content?
Those databases are highly regulated, as they are, themselves CSAM
Apple tried to do fuzzy hashes to download them to devices, and it wasn’t able to reliably identify things at all
Somewhere we went from finding those who do wrong and punishing them to censor everything because everyone is bad.
The Apache foundation has got a huge child sex problem. They must be policed by Microsoft. /s
They’re basically saying the fediverse has a bunch of creeps lurking.
