Divisions by zero is now pruning potentially problematic images
Divisions by zero is now pruning potentially problematic images
Some of you may have noticed a lot of people freaking out about CSAM and a bunch of communities closing, instances restricting registrations, turning off image uploads or shutting down completely. It's a bit of a chaos.
Fortunately your admin has been fighting this fight for the past year so I have developed some tools to help me out. I repurposed one of them to cover lemmy images
Using this approach, I've now turned on automatic scanning of new uploads.
What this means for you is that occasionally you will upload an image for a post and it will stop working after a bit. C'est la vie. Just upload something else. Changing format or slightly altering the image won't help you.
Also, sometimes you might see missing thumbnails on post from other communities. Those were the cached thumbnails hosted by us. The original images should still work in those cases.
Unfortunately this sort of AI scanning is not perfect and due to the nature of the beast, it will catch more false positives but to an acceptable degree. But I find that this is OK for a small social network site run as a hobby project.
Cool? Cool.
behavior like this baffle me. I wonder what they stand to gain by spamming CSAM? Purely destructive and psychopath behavior :|
Cool. Level headed approach.
Far better to have some false positives than any false negatives
Catch and hunt these degenerates. I'd hope law enforcement would get involved. If these sick fucks have these images and have posted them hopefully they can track them and imprison them
Hellllllllll yeaaaaaaaaaaahhhh, my pal db0. Nip that shit in the bud. Hope it's not too energy intensive or use too much computational power.
...will catch more false positives but to an acceptable degree.
I'd much rather see it catching plenty of false positives than not because it at least shows it's working as it should.
Hey, thanks for being cool! Really appreciated!
Good work! Thank you!
Thanks for the great job!
I was asking myself if it could be a sort astroturfing? I don't know why but it looks like that to me.
This is perfect moment / place for interpol and other organizations to catch some pedo mother fuckers . Those people are absolute human trash. Also Expect heavy vigilance from big eyes over the fediverse.
You should also log when, who, and from where these images are being uploaded.
That's not possible currently
and due to the nature of the beast, it will catch more false positives but to an acceptable degree
- What is this "acceptable degree"? Where is it documented?
- What is the recourse for the uploader in case of a false positive? And no I don't mean "upload something else", I mean what do you answer to "my legit content is being classified by a shared internet tool as CSAM, of all things".
