Check with a lawyer if blocking an upload that your server has access to because of suspected CSAM constitutes “actual knowledge or any facts or circumstances”.

HEY LOCAL PD OFFICE,
SOMEONE UPLOADED SOME POTENTIALLY CHILD PORN TO MY LEMMY INSTANCE.
No… I don’t have an IP for who uploaded it.
Sorry, I don’t know where it came from. It just got federated across the fediverse to me.
No… I don’t have the content either, it doesn’t get saved.
Sorry… I guess I really don’t have any details at all for you.

Nearly every country has strong Anti-CSAM laws on the book which require reporting known distribution.

NCMEC is very different than reporting to your local PD office.
