You’re not an admin so of course you don’t care. How come every admin in this thread has expressed their concern? Because it IS a concern. :)

When did I say it was new? Maybe I’m reminding people about this issue from months ago and that it needs more attention? Maybe I want admins to know about the issue so they can do something about it?

Did you even read the post?

Again, you are assuming everything is based on American law. What is up with people always thinking that American laws apply everywhere in the world?

“Do you plan to plant evidence and then call the authorities?” No but be very careful about statements like this.

In the end, you admitted that this is a concern anyway. Congrats. Can’t believe it took so much to hammer it into your head.

Issue has been opened two months ago: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3236 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3504

Who are these people that are smarter than us? Do you know them? What are their qualifications?

Did you not consider that not everyone is subject to American law and that there are other nations who have different laws? Did you not consider how diverse the Lemmy instances are and most do not fall under American law?

How come that every Lemmy admin who replied to this post expressed their concern regarding this issue? Explain to me why admins like sunasaurus and db0 are working on tools and solutions to address this problem if, according to you, this is not a concern.

Are you REALLY SURE that this is NOT a concern?

Imagine if the image link is shared to other people and you aren’t aware of it. You think that’s acceptable?

So you’re telling me you’re NOT bothered if CSAM was sitting on your server and shared with others without your knowledge? Do you think all countries have the same laws? You don’t think any of this is an issue?

You’re not concerned because you’re not an admin. Of course you only bothered to check my account profile and not the actual post. If the issue I stated above doesn’t bother you, then it’s only a matter of time until people start seriously abusing it. Or who knows, somebody already is and we just aren’t aware of it yet.

Good. It’s better that way until the issues are resolved.

Because there’s already an issue dated July 6: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3504

Like I said, people already know about this months ago.

Doesn’t change the fact that this issue needs to be addressed. Besides, do you think all countries laws are the same?

Here is another test ^ I use a different instance to better illustrate the point because it’s easy to upload images in comments. Nobody in shitjustworks will see this picture in their instance so nobody can report this picture.

This picture is just Salvadaor Dali by the way.

I’ve mentioned this before to a similar reply. But I’ll say it again: this was already publicly known months ago. People just forgot about it because they didn’t think it was a big deal. Now that they realize CSAM is a real issue, I made this post to remind everyone about it again. Bad actors already know about this and really, it isn’t hard to figure out how this work.

Doesn’t change the fact that this is an issue that needs to be resolved.

Most admins aren’t in the USA. But that’s not really the issue here is it?

Appreciate your work.

This has been known forever. Any bad actor already knows about this. There’s no reason to hide this. I am reminding people so solutions can be solved sooner. I will keep reminding until the problem is solved.

I’m not on GitHub. Someone else can submit it this and I’m very sure the Lemmy devs are aware. They just have different priorities.

This is one way to solve it.
