Edit: I’ve been corrected about some of the claims I made about Content Nation. I accept that it wasn’t designed to be a scraper, though it presents as one to admins viewing web server logs. I will be more careful with my language.

I was also wrong about the technical details of how it works; thanks sincerely for the lesson.

It was not cool for some vigilante to deliberately cause Content Nation to cache CSAM and then report them to the authorities. Fuck the person who did that.

@triton I do love how on Mastodon people do immediately call out fishy actors. Like those little birds work together to protect themselves and drive away a big predatory bird.

(No offense to any big predatory birds here.)
