@thatguyoverthere @alex I completely disagree with that take that getting cheesy pizza is a victimless crime...
"This is an attack on decentralization"
In hindsight I have to agree that the article from #TheVerge was an exercise in FUD
@thatguyoverthere @alex How come #GrumpyOldBens isn't pointing out that some of the #CSAM they found was #loli though
#Loli goes viral on the unmoderated side of the #Fediverse all the time
@thatguyoverthere @alex I did not read the raw study but heard that it made up for at least part of it. If it was less than 95% of the cheesy pizza they found, I would be genuinely shocked.
@realcaseyrollins Explaining this in more detail is a pita but there is one specific instance (which has been specifically criticized for it's moderation lately) where they potentially found a tiny amount of it (although, we have to use the word potential, because these algorithms have false positive rates and the guy didn't look at the images for legal reasons).
But, it's tiny compared to the size of the instance. It's an exaggeration, especially when you consider that Big Tech is far worse.
So, maybe, they need to do better moderation or something, but it's clearly a hit piece.
