DoorDash must love constantly issuing refunds to neighborhoods like this.

Calling the police for a wellness check is just legalized swatting..

I trust Reddit enough to manipulate the numbers to make the situation better than it looks like.

What? Nooo, Spez would never make undocumented changes to misrepresent things! Don't be silly.

Buying is owning. You just didn't buy what you thought you did.

Weird, Netflix used to compete with piracy so well that many people stopped pirating altogether, by offering a more convenient service at a reasonable price that was hard for even the most stubborn of pirates to refuse and resulted in a massive boom for its own industry. I wonder what could have changed that caused the people to leave Netflix and return to piracy. Hmm. I wonder.

Your job is automating electrons, and now some automated electrons are threatening your job.

I have to imagine this is similar to how farmers felt when large-scale machinery became widely available.

Nah, they're completely separate communities, so no real link that I can see there.

I dug around a bit, and one of the sites he was using to host the images was some weird 4chan-like image board. But it seems like he may have been trolling them, too, because even though it's a degenerate board full of racist garbage, it's not otherwise full of CSAM, and his posts were also deleted from that board eventually, too. So I don't think they were willingly hosting those images, either. I mention this because I saw some people calling to ban links to that domain, which probably should still be done because it's a trash website, but not because it's a CSAM haven of any sort.

It makes me think that this isn't targeted at any one community, just some random weirdo trying to make the internet a worse place wherever he can.

Also important to note: this feature will only really work against real CSAM. The images that were posted to this community weren't real CSAM but were pictures/gifs of adult models, with titles/captions that would imply they were CSAM. I don't think Cloudflare can do much about those.

At least, the handful of posts that I saw were like this. I'm doubtful that the guy doing this is uploading actual CSAM to the clearnet.

Just wait until the author discovers Gorillaz and Dethklok.

If it eases anybody's conscience, they appear to be fake, so you probably didn't accidentally see any actual CSAM, but rather somebody's fantasy captions on otherwise legal material.

Internet Archive likely wouldn't be able to handle it. They're already struggling currently, as it is, and dumping a few petabytes of caches of the entire internet onto them probably won't help.

Not that I give a shit, but I can see you potentially catching some flack for listing the USA as an "authoritarian regime" lmfao
