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.

      Child sexual abuse material - underage porn. For obvious reasons, you don’t want this to be something you’re hosting automatically out of your basement server.

          I’ve been listing to the audiobook for American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer and the number of times they say “CP” as an abbreviation for “Communist Party” is too damn high.

          Also last time I went to the amusement park Cedar Point they’ve got “CP” as an abbreviation on all sorts of stuff.

          Made me chuckle, but I do think it’s perhaps time to move to the abbreviation CSAM since it’s less likely to get used for other purposes.

              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.

            There’s a lot of porn that wasn’t made consensually either. I don’t care what we refer to csam as but I think it’s important to acknowledge that.
