Not a good look for Mastodon - what can be done to automate the removal of CSAM?

These articles are written by idiots, serving the whims of a corporate stooge to try and smear any other than corporate services and it isn't even thinly veiled. Look at who this all comes from

The article written by WaPo and regurgitated by The Verge is crap, but the study from Stanford is solid. However, it's nowhere near as doom and gloom as the articles, and suggests plenty of ways to improve things. Primarily they suggest better tools for moderation.

better tools for moderation

Where have I heard that before?

The study from Stanford conflates pencil drawings of imaginary characters with actual evidence of child rape.

Half the goddamn point of saying CSAM instead of CP is to make that difference blindingly obvious. Somehow, they still missed it. Somehow they are talking about sexual abuse as if it's something that can happen to pixels.

Its weird how this headline shows up only when other headlines start covering how popular Mastadon is now.

Coincidence? Sure smells like it. God, I love astroturfing in the morning.
