Taking an effective approach to stopping CSAM starts with remembering why it must be prevented. Not because it is gross or "taboo," but because its existence harms and revictimizes children who have experienced abuse and broadcasts their most vulnerable moments.

@hinindil @sirius @ProstasiaInc Because their goal in content moderation is having a positive public image, not keeping people safe. Same reason they'll let Nazis stick around as long as it's not making the news

@sirius @ProstasiaInc In my experience, they often take action against non-offenders in order to justify continuing to ignore the actual abusers and abusive content

@JoshuaACasey you could probably find a third-party launcher that lets you do that

@hinindil @ProstasiaInc Personally, I think allowing courts to make guesses about the context of certain content is incredibly dangerous (i.e., in some countries, harmless pictures of kids magically become illegal if a court decides you have those pictures for a sexual purpose), so I wouldn't support treating a diary and porn differently if the content is identical.

However, I also don't see a significant risk of harm when taboo content is created in a non-exploitative manner and kept private, so I think justice systems need to reevaluate how they handle cases like that, regardless of the content's context (or the type of content). That's not relevant in the case Prostasia was talking about since the method of creation involved massive violations of consent and professional ethics.

As I said, I can't speak for the organization, so these are just personal views.

@hinindil @ProstasiaInc I can't speak for the org, but I imagine there are limitations to what's considered a likeness. It's very hard to identify a specific person based on text content, especially if that content is kept private
