This is the head of T&S sharing about the new challenges that have come with the Brazilian wave. I hope it’s clear that the increased CSAM is not left online; we take this very seriously. This is just what comes with the increased attention.
What is everyone using to scan for CSAM nowadays? As I understand the tech is typically some type of hash comparison, but the prominent thing I see is Thorn which would cost like 10x of our whole s3 bucket per month. Is there anything self host able or open source?<p>I’m surprised there isn’t a government offering this type of service for free.
I'm glad they're being transparent like this, but problems like this are why I have big questions about their ability to keep going.<p>Social media Trust and Safety is hard work, and because it's adversarial, the job is never, ever done. The more eyeballs you have, the more your platform becomes a target for all sorts of miscreants. Centralized platforms need centralized response to that, and it's just not cheap.<p>Last I heard they didn't have a sustainable revenue model. Has that changed?
I used to manage the team that built textual scan tools for PornHub.<p>12 times a second (out of about 5000 uncached requests per second) we caught this shit.
This doesn't really matter. We already know how this plays out because we've seen it on repeat. Bluesky gets a surge in users, then no one stays, no one uses the platform. They're missing too many features for Bluesky to be worth using right now. The most obvious one is video: no one wants to use a social platform without video.
Stability AI/Civit AI have so many more users, and it's still not a problem apparently?<p>for reference:<p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/20/24009418/generative-ai-image-laion-csam-google-stability-stanford" rel="nofollow">https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/20/24009418/generative-ai-i...</a><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/civitai/comments/1e0qkn8/civitai_is_playing_csam_minesweeper_with_their/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/civitai/comments/1e0qkn8/civitai_is...</a>
