throwaway306OF alternative fediverse?
Big big risk here having spent last 6 years working for the largest provider of adult live porn cams, FOSS isn’t the issue but regulation and safety and infrastructure to ensure everyone participating is a consenting adult and not being trafficked or abused is a huge problem around the world. I may incur downvotes for this opinion, but this is a space where it SHOULD be regulated with a lot of checks and balances. You don’t want to accidentally come across CSAM and have that cached in your temp files for so many reasons.
hoshikarakitaridiaThe Csam caching is the worst issue.
So many countries basically regulate that if you have Csam on your PC you can go to jail. So if you’re hosting, and even if it gets deleted, that still means it was on the server. And that shit is bad.
Legally frightening.
I don’t see how anyone can blame you for this oppinion, and I’ll happily say I agree 100%. It’s basically known for a fact that anywhere sex work is unregulated, unmonitored etc… are almost universally used by traffickers, underage participants etc… and if we are talking video hosting, then revenge porn etc… Gotta fully agree, this is the category I want the site operators across the board to have the government breathing down their neck saying “You better damn well do everything humanly possible to prove this video was made with uncoerced consent of someone old enough to make that choice”.
julianTell me about it! There are some very cool people (i.e. @[email protected]) working on content classification and tagging so that the burden of filtering out this kind of content isn't borne by server admins directly.
Emelia 👸🏻@julian for the OP, there was subclub but it didn't allow adult content & is now gone.
The challenge of illegal content and activity will always exist, whether a platform is explicitly for adult content or not. (See the report on IFTAS CCS for how this is already a problem on the fediverse)
The larger problem is the age verification requirement on the consumer side, which is difficult to handle decentralized, maybe impossible even.
