Pawoo, a Japanese Mastadon instance on the Fediverse notoriously bad about moderating CSAM, has been taken down.

  Speaking from experience, they could fix their spam and abuse woes very easily by just closing new signups or restricting it in some way. Simplest would be invite-only (built-in feature of Mastodon), or restrict the signups page based on IP range whitelist/blacklist.

    you mean they should turn off the user-count-go-uppinator? but how would the fediverse grow like that??

    (sorry i just have opinions on large instances)

      The nature of a site like reddit (and lemmy and all other alternatives) means a large userbase is necessary. Not at the expense of CSAM, but also everyone trying to gatekeep lemmy doesn’t realise that welltdie a slow death unless the fediverse grows by at least 10-20x.

      I swear, Lemmy users act like they are completely in favor of an instance of 40 users and a submission every other week. Seeing scale as inherently bad.

      Lemmy will fucking roll over and die within the year.

    I’m pretty sure they were complicit in this and were not really trying to fight it.

      Actual CSAM on pawoo wasn’t even a problem. It was just spam from feds or scammers.

      Absolutely brain-dead speculation based on literally nothing. Complicit in what??? The current owner is a very public figure, so they gain nothing and have everything to lose. It’s just pure incompetence and mismanagement.

  Would like to see a yearly mass purge of all CSAM instances.

  Japan is very lax over pedophillia.

    Nah. They’re lax about loli. Which, as distasteful as it is, does not involve any harm to actual children. They do go after actual CSAM.

      They didn’t bother outlawing possession of CP until 2014 edition.cnn.com/2014/06/…/japan-child-porn-law Distribution was legal right up until 1999

      Under the new law, people in possession of child pornography have one year to dispose of it before they risk prosecution.

      Very considerate!

      They go after it mainly to appease external forces like other countries objecting to it, but people who are convicted often get very light sentences.

  What does the acronym CSA mean? I’m not native English.

  source

  • clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    “Child Sexual Abuse Material”. It’s an awkward acronym that’s mostly overtaken “Child Pornography”.

      Thanks.

    CSAM is Child Sexual Exploitation Material

    People prefer using this term over CP because the word “porn” is considered too soft. Porn is generally a consensual, adult medium made with adults for adults. CP is not that, it’s first and foremost harm of a child.

    • chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Another reason is that “CP” got jokingly coopted by abusers in the form of various dogwhistles (e.g.: “cheese pizza”). It made more sense to adopt a new acronym rather than try to uphold any sense of decorum while sharing ownership of the term w/ edgelords & predators.

      That’s strange to me, because CP sounds revolting to me but CSAM sounds like something I can treat with aspirin.
