@Gargron it’d be great that you work on banning nudity (pornography) and links to terrorist organizations asap as these are rampant since the #twitter exodus. #mastodon #fediverse what’s the future?

@alexhammy209 @whyamihere @seb also, who cares about porn? Just block related hashtags if you don't want it around. This isn't Facebook.

@alexhammy209 @seb fact is I did do that yesterday, but no resps so far. In any case, I’m assuming the platform architecture must share common features across servers, eg AI for semantics and nomenclature, so it’s probably something that needs to be done by mastodon in Germany. Right?

@whyamihere the way I understand it detecting stuff like nudity automatically is actually a tricky thing that can be prone to false positives, so I think the responsibility in that case falls more on individual server operators/moderators, especially since some people might actually want nudity in their feeds. Mastodon does have tools to help server operators ban links but again, it's not really something that can be done automatically.

@fish @seb well idk about nudity like Helmut Newton nudity, perhaps that’s acceptable. I’m talking more about pornography like expletive graphic stuff. That can’t be legal given we have rating systems that oblige that type of content to be rated X and made inaccessible to under 18s.

@whyamihere @seb The tools are likely there, but it's been a wild week with #ElonGate and all. Like your admin can block whole servers. One thing you can do right away is set all media to be hidden so you don't have like a bunch of s*ldiers/g*erillas getting ready to unalive peaceful civilians in a picture pop up at you.

Also if an account posts stuff you don't like, report and all that but at the end of the day it's all wack-a-mole.

IANAL.

@whyamihere @seb I should point out that, while I'm still not a lawyer, your server sfba.social is based in the US so if you wanted to pursue legal action it would be in US, probably California, courts. I mean, in the unlikely event you found something actionable that the weren't indemnified against. 🤷
