Idk. That 'study'/article fails to recognize the consequences and ethics of the legal situation in Japan for example. And I think everything is a bit too vague to really claim to be scientific.

This topic sometimes makes me a bit angry/disappointed. On the one hand I perfer my favorite places on the internet (eg the fediverse)/not to be used for disgusting stuff and crime. On the other hand politicians like Ursula von der Leyen, who is now head of the EU parliament, have been using exactly this subject for years (and in my eyes thus abusing the stories of the victims yet again) to advertise for 100% online-surveillance, getting rid of end to end encryption and storing massive amounts of data about everyone, just in case...

"Just think about the children..."

And this is just not the way to solve that issue. I don't want to live in their 1984-society fantasies and there are better solutions around.

A second thing I find kind of alarming. The article mentiones those automatic content detection tools by Google and Microsoft. They are NOT available for the free world. I think if legislature really forces us to filter on upload... And it's only big corporations that own the databases of CSAM... This is their way to easily get rid of the fediverse. And every platform build by and for the people.

I'm a bit disgusted. But this is why i'm interested in the subject.
