While I like the visibility w/ the #kolektiva breach I also think this is missing the forest for the trees and gets distracted while skipping a lot of the practices that would have actually helped, and things like "VPN!" are just eyeroll worthy

For example.

1. Don't download your users database onto a personal device.

2. If you violate (1), don't ever have it unencrypted.

3. If you violate (1) and (2) don't go "well maybe we can just not tell anyone for six weeks."

Hello Fediverse!

There's not much to see here yet, but we're working on building tools for handling #moderation needs across the #fediverse!

Project lead: @thisismissem

Thanks to @elan for agreeing to give us this name.

This account will be mostly unmonitored for now, and hopefully development will commence soon.

#introduction

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.

Volgende week hoort Tessel, samen met 7 anderen die terecht staan voor ‘opruiing’, de uitspraak van de rechter. Haar ‘vergrijp’? Oproepen tot vreedzame demonstraties op de A12. Wil jij hen steunen? Doe mee op 9 september! #StopFossieleSubsidies!
