    Commenting my $0.02 How fucking bullshit is this. I looked into the report and it’s a report from Stanford. It’s the same loli crap you see on 4chan and even twitter sometimes.

      It’s not bullshit that the CSAM content is there. It’s bullshit to imply that this is a unique problem for Mastodon. Every social media platform is rife with child-abuse material.

      Who made the study? It’s unknown? Let’s put an X next to the unknown :)

        Who made the study? It’s right there in the article and associated links. David Thiel is one of the 2 authors. He works at Stanford and before that worked at Facebook. He’s a security and safety guy. He seems to know what he’s talking about going by his publications and history.
