     @dansup @gavi @pixelfed

     IFTAS is creating a Content Classification Service to operate media scanning in a hash-and-match system whereby media sent to IFTAS is hashed, compared to known hashes, and pertinent matches will be flagged, and IFTAS will take on the role of reporting where and when needed. Media is never sent to any third party by IFTAS unless flagged.

     If this may be something worth considering being able to hook into, please reach out. (2/2)

     @dansup @gavi @pixelfed Assuming this is child abuse related, we've worked with numerous child safety agencies over the past nine months, and compiled some guidance here: https://github.com/iftas-org/resources/tree/main/CSAM-CSE

     Definition of "illegal" varies, but as long as the service has users in one of the jurisdictions where it's illegal, then it's illegal.

     Most countries do not require a service provider to actively seek out the content, but must take action when they become aware. (1/2)

     @dansup@mastodon.social @pixelfed@mastodon.social it should be stated here that each country has specific laws and requirements for administrators to best deal with this content. In the US, there is a duty to preserve for at least 90 days on a remote server that is essentially treated like toxic waste that only you have access to. The legal requirements depends on each jurisdiction but very few on the fediverse seem to know what their laws are on that end

     @gavi @pixelfed That is a really good point, we're discussing this and how we can implement a proper solution that works for most regions.

     I just had to deal with the worst kind of report, I immediately banned the account and cleared associated media from our CDN

     Ended up spending the evening working on federating account deletions to purge this from known fediverse servers (done ✅)

     Now I'm working to make it easier for admins to report illegal content to the authorities

     I'm making this public because @pixelfed needs your help to report sus posts and feedback on how to keep our community safe from illegal content
