Are there recommended services where I can point to...say...an s3 object and validate it doesnt fall into some /all of the above categories? Seems like a good business and also something i'd pay for to remove this risk.
- curiousgeorgio 6y agoYes, look at Amazon Rekognition. I use it (very successfully) for a website that used to encounter similar issues with file upload abuse. In my case, image uploads aren't mandatory for users, but they are very helpful in identifying the spammers (for some reason, the spammers almost always try to upload images that get filtered, so it makes it easier to spot them). That, combined with an IP check (getipintel.net) has almost completely eliminated the spam issues on my site.

- jacquesm 6y agoMicrosoft does some of this for the worst offenders, see 'PhotoDNA'. For once something that they did that has no downsides that I can determine.
