A thought... given that these databases use known hashes of child exploitation media to identify offenders, could someone release an add-on to Mastodon etc that could use the hash DB to delete, flag the account, and notify whoever? It would serve to cut down on NCP too if a victim were willing to hash them.

Edit: Hey serial downvoter!
