   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

     @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

     @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)

     @dansup @pixelfed

     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.
