There have been users spamming CSAM content in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world 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.
This isn’t trolling, this is just disgusting crime.
The crime happened in the past when the children were abused. This is some weird amalgam of criminal trolling.
Edit: yeah yeah I get that csam is criminal, that’s why I called it an amalgam. It’s both trolling and criminal.
spreading child pornography is in fact illegal in most of the world
It’s still a crime. Taking the pictures is a crime. Sharing the pictures is also a crime.
Some sick fuck out there kept the files
Depending on jurisdiction, I am not a lawyer, etc etc, but I’d imagine with fairly high degree of probability that re-distribution of CSAM is also a crime.
