Buried in this very report, they note that Instagram and Twitter have vastly more (self generated) child porn than the Fediverse. But that’s deep into section 4, which is on page 8. No one is going to read that far into the report, they might get through the intro, which is all doom and gloom about decentralized content.

Since the release of Stable Diffusion 1.5, there has been a steady increase in the
prevalence of Computer-Generated CSAM (CG-CSAM) in online forums, with
increasing levels of realism.17 This content is highly prevalent on the Fediverse,
primarily on servers within Japanese jurisdiction.18 While CSAM is illegal in
Japan, its laws exclude computer-generated content as well as manga and anime.

Nope, seems to be the one. They lump the entire Fediverse together, even though most of the shit they found was in Japan.

The report notes 112 non-Japanese items found, which is a problem, but not a world shaking issue. There may be issues with federation and deletion orders, which is also an issue, but not a massive world shaking one.

Really, what the report seems to be about is the fact that moderation is hard. Bad actors will work around any moderation you put in place, so it’s a constant game of whack-a-mole. The report doesn’t understand this basic fact and pretends that no one is doing any moderation, and then they add in Japan.

The report (if you can still find a working link) said that the vast majority of material that they found was drawn and animated, and hosted on one Mastodon instance out of Japan, where that shit is still legal.

Every time that little bit of truth comes up, someone reposts the broken link to the study, screaming about how it’s the entire Fediverse riddled with child porn.

I seem to remember a guy being convicted for possession of child porn, and the very much adult porn star actually came to his trial to testify in his defense… I’ll see if I can find a link about it, but that will be some risky searching.

They ditched the “don’t be evil” years ago. Now it’s “As many ads as possible”.

I hear that they can cover up to 80% of a user’s visual field without inducing seizures.

Empress is currently the only person who is cracking Denuvo DRM. She’s also insane. This is the rules from her Telegram channel.

All the other (better) crackers were either hired by tech and security companies, or threatened with legal action until they stopped cracking. This is a large part of why Denuvo is seen as uncrackable these days, when three years ago you had games cracked the day of release.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. No more. No less.

There’s a lot of wisdom in that.

The better option is the co-opt.

Workers owning the business and working to make it better for themselves.

That one thing was progressive.

The literal Nazi shit he got up to, on the other hand…

2011 is well outside the Statute of Limitations for infringement…

That’s three years with some wiggle room for ongoing infringement.

This is likely an intimidation/shakedown thing.

Yeah, I can’t bring myself to root for the Nazi mercenary group who want to wage total war in Ukraine.

Maxim 29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. No more. No less.

I still like Soy milk the best. It’s tried and true, and uses less water than Oat. Sadly, the emissions are a bit higher…

But a benefit is that in making soy milk, you have the setup to make tofu, which is lovely as well.
