Remember all that nonsense the media was posting about Mastodon being a haven for illegal porn? Almost feels like a smear campaign to defame an up and coming X/Twitter competitor.
Most online platforms are susceptible to hosting CSAM and Mastodon deserves to be scrutinized and investigated for it as much as the rest. The problem with a million decentralized instances is a million different people in charge of detecting and eliminating CSAM from their platforms, and it’s going to be a challenge as this platform grows.

Facebook has the most csam of any website, but I hardly ever see the same fear mongering from the media. Odd.

You hear about Meta cracking down on csam in the media but not Twitter. Odd.
likely because it’s not happening on twitter, as evidenced by the post
Bingo. Meta, for it’s horribleness, at least makes an effort to be less horrible. Elon… Doubles down on the horrible.
Facebook is ubiquitous now and is therefore beyond reproach. It exceeds the scope of everything.
