"Twitter rival Mastodon rife with child-abuse material, study finds"
Two things:
1. partway through they consider [japanese loli/AI CG] to be "abuse materials". Even if you find it highly objectionable material, because you've conflated the two I don't actually know what you're talking about when you say there's a lot of "it". Also while this stuff gets challenged at the state level it's a first amendment issue in the USA whether you like it or not. some of these servers are hosted in the USA so singling out Japan's laws seems stupid. 2. Try getting access to the CSAM fingerprinting service. I know two different people who have tried in good faith and the service refused them. You can't criticize people for not doing enough when you gatekeep them from the tools you let big companies use.
@Lumeinshin a different fingerprinting system is used that can detect cropped and reduced and altered versions of the same image. and they restrict who they give access to it to.
@Moon@shitposter.club Taking hentai and putting it in the same pile as actual child abuse material is one of the oldest logical fallacies on the internet.
I even consider it harmful because it makes actual child abuse look less severe if you're gonna put it on the same tier.
@coin if they are conflating csam and artwork then yes there's tons of it on this network. I looked at the study and they definitely found real csam but they also used art as examples like a screenshot of someone taking commissions to draw loli art.
@Moon Not wholly related but it's quite interesting that 4 days ago it's been reported that Stanford's president has been falsifying research results... Just something that I wanted to point out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnhdffULoQ0
@Moon@shitposter.club Yeah the kind of people who think this don't realize that when it comes to actual law enforcement they obviously don't bat an eye at lolicon/shotacon stuff.
You can literally host this anywhere on the clearweb and nobody cares about that, but everyone knows that as soon as you have a slightly suggestive picture of real human being who is 17 years and 364 days old the party van is going to show up.
@Moon I'm glad someone is stepping forward and speaking up for the poor cartoon children.
Just a disclaimer, I work in cartoon child protective services, and son, the stuff I see those freaks on the Mastodon network sharing, you can't unsee that.
Drinking multiple bottles of whiskey a week now. I don't know how long I can keep hunting Mastodon network cartoon child sex perverts down, this is breaking me
@Moon you'd think they'd want to give basically any admin of a site with user input that, even if they have an activity requirement, ie X monthly users/posts
It's always bizarre watching anime pedos fighting with Hollywood pedos as if I'm somehow not completely fine with them both just killing each other off.
Best you can do if you're neither of these is to just stay as far away from the splash zone as possible.
@lewdthewides@Moon It's been illegal since 2005 in the US, which means it's probably going to turn into a diplomatic sticking point between them and Japan soon
