You can look into Cloudflare's CSAM setting, but I'm not exactly sure what it does.
I don't understand how a web host is legally responsible for what their users post as long as there's active moderation removing it in a timely manner.
You are correct, there is safe harbor provisions on the matter. There is a legal responsibility to report and store the content securely when it is reported as an admin.
FYI in USA the law CDA section 230 only preempts state law but not federal law. If something which is federally illegal lands on your server you need to deal with it ASAP
What does CSAM exactly mean? (I understand the point of the meme completely just never heard of such abbreviation.
It's child porn, and as horrifying as you've been told it is. Some scumbag trolls were posting it on lemmy.world's memes sub and so .world finally decided to close open signups.
When did we switch to that instead of CP?
Porn is a legal thing that normal people enjoy. The term CSAM takes a stance that it is always abuse. I think they are basically interchangeable but CSAM is the currently preferred term.
But it is always abuse regardless of the term, so a new term is wildly unnecessary
Sometimes, terms need changing to separate it from something else. Porn in itself is legal and fine. When adding children in the mix it's easy to get caught up in the porn part of the discussion rather than the child part.
Separating the terms puts the focus more on the child abuse part.
I've literally not once seen anyone "get caught up in the porn part" what
Why are you opposed to using terms that are accurate?
I thought about hosting my own instance, but now I'm definitely not......
I thought the worst that could happen was being ignored.... apparently not.
you could host your own instance and just not have new users sign up, by keeping registration private.
But if you federate with an instance that gets the material, then you will also get it.
Never heard of Section 230?
