From your description it’s unclear, does this also block CSAM that’s physically on your infrastructure, or just any links to external content?

CloudFlare is currently attempting to block LLM bots and doing a shit job at it. I’m guessing that any CSAM blocking would be incomplete at best.

What happens if some “gets through”, or if non-CSAM content is blocked, both materially, as-in, what happens, and, what are the legal implications, since I doubt that CloudFlare would ever assume liability for content on your infrastructure.

Edit: I thought I’d also point out that this is not the only type of content that could get you into a legal black hole. For example, if a post was made that circumvented a legal ruling, say when a court in Melbourne, Australia, makes a suppression order that someone breaches. Or if defamatory content was published, etc.

I am not a lawyer and I don’t play one on the internet.

To my understanding the process is only prevented by controlling who can have an account on your instance.

That said, it’s not clear to me how federated content is legally considered.

The only thing I can think of is running a bot on your instance that uses the API of a service such as what you mention to deal with such images.

Your post is the first one I’ve seen recently that is even describing the issue of liability, but it’s in my opinion the single biggest concern that exists in the fediverse and it’s why I’ve never hosted my own instance.

Or my favourite passive aggressive attempt by Admiral’s anti-ad-blocking “technology”:

“Continue without supporting”

Can’t wait to see the Australian government completely ignore this rather than apply it to the fossil fuel lobby that’s currently running the show.

I would be extremely careful, since it failed for a reason and you were very lucky not to set the house on fire, which looks like it came pretty close to.

Some of it is still in a museum.

I’m fluent in Dutch and at no point in the supplied link is there any reference to eating anything.

Attempted murder, torture, court, death, body parts being sold, heart being cut out and displayed for years, yes … eating, not so much.

In Australia it depends on whom you ask.

The Greens say it’s a catastrophe.

The Labor party says it’s a problem, but not enough of one to actively do anything about.

The Liberal party tell you what you want to hear, but support the fossil fuel lobby while saying that it’s not manmade.

The National party wants more nuclear power because apparently it’s “better” … for some reason that nobody understands.

One Nation blames the immigrants

The Trumpet of Patriots blame One Nation.

Fringe dwellers blame COVID, or grasshoppers, or kangaroos … it’s hard to keep track.

To get a sense of just how bad this is, Sports account for 1% of global GDP, Science accounts for 2%.

Now compare how much coverage the daily news broadcast has for either.

These are job titles I’ve actually used:

• Brain for Hire
• Elephant header
• Janitor
• Troubleshooter

Over the past 25+ years I’ve worked for myself and whilst doing the exact same job, fixing complex ICT problems for my clients I’ve had to complete job title fields in countless corporate forms.

It’s fun to interact with colleagues who get the joke and hilarious when they don’t.

We’d love to have you!

You should consider that snafus with paperwork have undoubtedly happened for as long as there has been a border between the two countries.

It’s not the paperwork that’s the issue.

It’s the harrassment and incarceration that’s the problem.

Consider this: If family coming to Canada isn’t a concern, why not go and see them instead?

Education.

As an Australian, it’s interesting to read a report about our election in a publication outside our borders … that’s not something that I encounter often.

It also has the added benefit of not using hyper partisan language, managing to discuss the situation in a more subdued tone.

I wish there was more of this in how we report on the world around us.

Thank you for sharing!

Pretty sure that they already shared it with copilot, so I’m guessing that it’s only a matter of time until everyone has a copy…

I’m assuming you’re familiar with Asahi Linux?

It’s still very much a work in progress.

At the moment I’m bridging the gap by using homebrew, UTM, ssh into local hardware and shortly remote desktop on EC2.

It’s far from ideal, but that’s where I found myself after my x86 iMac died last year, so I feel your pain.

A modern sized ram is no joking matter … they can really fuck you up good and proper. Now imagine one sized to match the fossil … shudder.

It’s interesting that the “worst” corporations mentioned by others here do not include any media companies.

Perhaps you might contemplate why it is that they appear to be “invisible” in a discussion about damage to society.

Is it possible that the narrative around “evil companies” is told by media companies?

How do they know it was a snail and not a ram?
