This is certainly interesting (I see the EFF has been busy this year), but before risking interacting with people with exceptionally poor takes (probably not from the EFF, mind you), I invite @eff to read the following "articles" (can something be called an article on this platform?) which I wrote (one pertaining to how porn isn't some spooky thing, but also, one about people who almost pathologically* can't stop trying to conflate content containing fictional scenarios / people, with abuse, also engaging in rounds of concern trolling, which is honestly a form of implicit conflation):

https://qoto.org/@olives/111191543236620885 Conflation. This doesn't go into any specific conflation but it does go into general patterns of conflation.

Curiously, one of the people I cite here actually used to work for the EFF (as recently as 2018, it seems). Not that I allow him to carry this piece. It's based on a number of observations from a number of people, quite a few locations, what the vast majority of content seems to look like, and *not* trying to project a censorial agenda.

* Metaphor.

One will also attempt to lie to someone's face about apparent "abuse", and trying to depict a general purpose service as being "negligent", then it will turn out it is a photo indistinguishable from legitimate (and even non-sexual) conduct. The sort of (probable very rare) scenario which exists as more of an attempted "gotcha" than a legitimate threat.

Unfortunately, stretching terms (and also methodologies which don't involve actually examining content) seem to be becoming more common.

This is probably just a drop in the bucket of shenanigans. In any case, while moderation is probably important, it doesn't mean there aren't problematic grifters out there trying to make a name out of "dirt".
