I just had to deal with the worst kind of report, I immediately banned the account and cleared associated media from our CDN
Ended up spending the evening working on federating account deletions to purge this from known fediverse servers (done ✅)
Now I'm working to make it easier for admins to report illegal content to the authorities
I'm making this public because @pixelfed needs your help to report sus posts and feedback on how to keep our community safe from illegal content

Admins can run `php artisan app:user-account-delete` after updating to the latest commits to deliver remote delete actor activities!
PR: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/pull/4997
This will be automated in the near future when you delete an account, and will also handle previously deleted accounts!

@gavi @pixelfed That is a really good point, we're discussing this and how we can implement a proper solution that works for most regions.

@dansup@mastodon.social @pixelfed@mastodon.social it should be stated here that each country has specific laws and requirements for administrators to best deal with this content. In the US, there is a duty to preserve for at least 90 days on a remote server that is essentially treated like toxic waste that only you have access to. The legal requirements depends on each jurisdiction but very few on the fediverse seem to know what their laws are on that end

@ThirstyGayGeek @pixelfed Right?? I'm so thankful for our community, and our report feature that was used just minutes after the creep posted.
I was able to remove and purge the post/media and account within 5 minutes

@dansup @gavi @pixelfed Assuming this is child abuse related, we've worked with numerous child safety agencies over the past nine months, and compiled some guidance here: https://github.com/iftas-org/resources/tree/main/CSAM-CSE
Definition of "illegal" varies, but as long as the service has users in one of the jurisdictions where it's illegal, then it's illegal.
Most countries do not require a service provider to actively seek out the content, but must take action when they become aware. (1/2)

Just wanted to say kudos to you for caring enough to do this.
I used to report (what I'm guessing is) the same type of content on Twitter ... for hours (often daily). There were just so many.
It's horrific & emotionally draining. But, egads, it's necessary (crucial, really) for decent people to step in.
So, thank you.
