Not a good look for Mastodon - what can be done to automate the removal of CSAM?
The article written by WaPo and regurgitated by The Verge is crap, but the study from Stanford is solid. However, itβs nowhere near as doom and gloom as the articles, and suggests plenty of ways to improve things. Primarily they suggest better tools for moderation.
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 itβs something that can happen to pixels.
