Comment on Stanford researchers find Mastodon has a massive child abuse material problem

So they went on mastodon and started searching for CP? WTF is wrong with these sick people? I hope they’re on an FBI list now.

So your advice to any organization seeking to minimize illegal activity is to willfully ignore any trace of it?

“I swear, officer, I was just searching for CP to catch OTHER people!”
It would be just as pathetic as that scene from Something About Mary. “Yeah I was just going to pee, too!”
Maybe they had some kind of legal sanctioning to do it, but holy crap, I wouldn’t want that in my search history. I would hope software like that has some mechanism where if people search for certain words it results in an automatic reporting to some FBI API somewhere. I actually know of a couple of people who got caught with that stuff. One got 25 years. The other jumped bail and they eventually caught him. I’m not sure if he’s been sentenced yet but I bet he’ll get double of what the other guy who cooperated got. Those people are creepy AF and nobody in their right mind would want to be associated with any of it. Those people are 10 times worse than neo nazis.
