Poptalk.scrubbles.tech is going down temporarily due to fear of federating CSAM

lemmy.world Sad post, going down for a while - Lemmy.world

Hey all, first of all I love you all for being here, this started as a small side project and ballooned into a fun area to talk about pop music. Sadly, I have to take the site down for a while while I rethink how I host. Currently, this site is hosted on my own hardware, on my own network. Something...

(The site is already down, and my instance wasn't subscribed, so I can't properly link, hopefully the bot will help).

Fascist shutdown of public discourse, step by step:

Find out where public discourse is.

Post child porn on an obscure corner of it.

Take screenshots of the posted porn.

Send law enforcement to seize all the things.
- They are a dumbass if they do this cause they will get prosecuted themselves for posting that. There's a safe harbor provision for server admins so long as they make a good faith effort to report when it is brought to their attention (at least in the US). So long as you are doing your due diligence as a web host, you should be fine.
  
  I'm talking about when the government wants an excuse for shutting down public discourse. Obviously it isn't going to prosecute itself.
  
  They have much less roundabout ways of shutting things down if they really want to.
  
  imo it’s more likely that some agitator dickweed would do that than a government. Both are conceivable, though.
  
  Ah yes, it was all a false flag, instigated by the government to take away our freedoms, I get it
  
  Also screenshots of csam would count as csam right
