Grateful to everyone who's engaging thoughtfully and proactively with the Stanford team's important report on how to manage CSAM across the fediverse.

And to folks who are responding with a defense reflex, I get it, having seen Big Tech respond the same way to research & news coverage over the years.

I think a mature fediverse is possible—one that takes problems and unfavorable media seriously, channeling frustrations toward addressing problems rather than lashing out at inconvenient news.

Right. My guess is that the WaPo article is because of the push to sneak through the #STOPCSAM bill this week -- which wouldn't actually stop CSAM, it's more an attack on encryption, but its supporters have good relationships with WaPo.

Don't get me wrong though, this is an issue the fediverse really need to take more seriously. Denise Paolucci from Dreamwidth has talked about this for a while and everybody just ignores her.
