There have been users spamming CSAM content in [email protected] causing it to federate to other instances. If your instance is subscribed to this community, you should take action to rectify it immediately. I recommend performing a hard delete via command line on the server.
I deleted every image from the past 24 hours personally, using the following command:
sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files -type f -ctime -1 -exec shred {} \;
Note: Your local jurisdiction may impose a duty to report or other obligations. Check with these, but always prioritize ensuring that the content does not continue to be served.
Update
Apparently the Lemmy Shitpost community is shut down as of now.
In what world anyone would think that CP implies consent? I mean, the word ‘child’ is right there. Do you think that the term ‘child soldiers’ implies consent? I don’t have anything against the term CSAM but if it was created because of doubts around consent it was a silly reason to create it.
The term originates from professionals - psychiatrists etc - who work in that field, because they knew even decades ago that “pron” is the wrong word for this kind of material.
I think it’s more likely some people working in those fields wanted to improve their career by popularizing a new term.
I think it has less to do with the existence of non-consensual porn as with the possibility and, indeed, existence of vast amounts of consensual porn. Consent is very much possible in adult porn, it isn’t with CSAM. It’s also possible with soldiers, though of course conscription exists and ask a random Ukrainian they’d rather not have to be a soldier for their loved ones to be protected.
