Hello, I'd be the anyone in this scenario. I don't believe that the pros outweigh the cons, violating the privacy of every single person to protect us from the absolute minority (abusers) of a minority (those attracted to children) is not worth the exchange.
CSAM detection would not have protected me from abuse. At best it would have prevented continued sexual abuse.
And yet had my abuser been caught early I would have been returned to a different, brutally abusive man. One whose abuse no one particularly seems to care about, because there's less to get righteous about when there's no sex involved in the abuse.
- anigbrowl 3y agoOK, but if you read my posts above I am not arguing for mass privacy violations. I'm saying the tech community isn't going to get any traction for its advocacy unless it makes some effect to propose privacy respecting solutions to the CSAM proliferation problem. I'm sorry that happened to you, but I presume you would also prefer that imagery including you did not continue to circulate?
- uconnectlol 3y agowhat? we already know the legislation will not pass. the "tech community" doesn't have to do anything. why are you trying to make it sound like there is a dilemma here. cringe
- chownie 3y agoHow about putting more of the onus on services who might be used to traffic it? > I'm sorry that happened to you, but I presume you would also prefer that imagery including you did not continue to circulate? I've reported CSAM posts on tumblr and twitter and seen them survive for weeks before they finally disappear. It seems like that's a much riper target than propping up this kind of worst case solution.
