@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)

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)
