This one is a very basic CSAM scanner that goes through lemmy image storage and just deletes stuff it deems bad. https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety I havent tried it tho, so i cant attest to its quality.

Im sure there are tools made for mastodon too, since it has a lot more users.

How do you know? It would be quite odd for there to be zero paper trails from running a child sex trafficking ring of this size. Its absurd to claim that there is no evidence of it.

We arent really in disagreement tho. I am absolutely empathetic with their situation and their burnout. Im just saying they should have seen it coming. Those two things arent contradictory. I just find it odd how one can invest so much time into a public project, without being aware of the realities of having to moderate it. Im thankful for the people that host instances, but i will never do it, because i know how much of a pain it is.

This really is a complicated problem, but if the fediverse wants to grow without relying on slave labor for moderation like Meta and the rest, then we have to find ways to lighten the load on moderators. Thats why creating transparent pre moderation tools like the image scanners used by many fediverse instances is so important.

When you moderate a platform that the public is free to upload anything to, you will see everything. From insults to threats to gore to CSAM. Thats how the internet is. That is the worst part in my opinion, because you cant just look away, but actually have to deal with it.

Sounds like someone wasn’t prepared for the reality of human interaction on the internet.
I mean its completely fair to say that they don’t want to deal with it, but also what did they expect?

Sounds like somebody in Israel has dirt on some high ranking politicians in Spain.

Yeah the transparency of it might be unintended.

A list of high profile politicians, actors and other celebrities that all used Epsteins child rape services…

I think there is a good chance this behavior is unintended!

Lmao, sure…

I luckily only really use Calc. Ive had no problems with that, but my use cases are fairly primitive probably. What kind of issues did you have while using it and which one Writer/Calc/Draw?

Yeah, this seems like an easy lawsuit in the EU tbh

It basically boils down to making the browser do some cpu heavy calculations before allowing access. This is no problem for a single user, but for a bot farm this would increase the amount of compute power they need 100x or more.

Explain. The way i understand it, if somebody flashes malware into your firmware or bootloader then that device cant really be guaranteed to ever be safe again.

Physical access = electronic waste

Thats how it has always been and always will be. If a threat actor had free access to your device for even just a couple seconds, its compromised rare earth trash.

We do have it in Germany and the local public transport is perfectly good, albeit a bit expensive in some cities, but its the interregional, long distance train network that has massive issues in Germany. Trains are constantly delayed or even cancelled, pricing is absurd, still no level boarding on the high speed trains, etc.

Universities in the US are real weird. The big ones even have their own private police.

The down votes are from people who work in IT support that have to deal with idiots that play with things they dont understand.

and forcibly admitted her to the university’s psychiatric hospital

Holy fuck. How is that not the thing leading the headline? That is just kidnapping with zero legal basis.

A 2021 investigation from the MIT Technology Review found that 148 individuals were charged, but just 40 of them had pleaded or been found guilty. Only 19 cases included violations of the Economic Espionage Act, the intended focus of the initiative.

Just some blanket racism.

I also decided to do an archive snapshot https://archive.is/Zcgor
