Whitehat Hacker

Vote manipulation will be tricky to enforce, since votes can come from any Instance due to the whole federation thing, if the user uses the same username on their account it’s easy but if not it can be very difficult if not impossible.

He’s always like this unfortunately.

You were banned because you were arguing for why people shouldn’t be arrested for possession of CSAM material, trolling and straw-manning in the replies, and on top of that attempting to seriously and honestly advocate for pedophiles on another community, which is at best borderline illegal (anyone can check the modlog on that one if they don’t believe me, I wouldn’t make such claims if they weren’t true).

So to summerize you were banned for

• Trolling
• Promoting Illegal Activities (Pedophilla and CSAM)

I have not clue, people can be quite toxic and horrible. Also noticed that they reduced his ban, not sure why, defending pedophilia is pretty bad and definitely carries legal risk but it’s not my call to make.

Do people think that someone has to use the same email address, or the same username? If someone uses a different email, username, and IP address (don’t try and argue semantics it can, always can, and always has been done) then whatever you put into the list can’t be applied to them.

Even if you ask for IDs people can fake those, it’s illegal sure but so is what these assholes did and it didn’t really stop them now did it.

They were banned because they were defending pedophilia (advocating for them to be able to get off to what turns them on) and also trolling very aggressively. You can look at them in the Modlog on the Website, not sure if Apps implement the modlog yet though.

I would definately agree that this would very likely count as cyber terrorism, and if it doesn’t it should.

Do you know why we have possession laws against CSAM in the first place? It’s because people buy and sell abuse material in underground markets, it’s another way they profit off the abuse of children. This is nothing like drug possession laws (which are stupid) because the product is literally a direct product of the abuse of children that many of the people in possession likely helped the criminals in order to obtain it (either directly or by paying them for it).

So yes in this case it does make sense to criminally charge people for possession of something like this considering the direct connection CSAM has to child trafficking and child sexual abuse and when you defend it by going against possession laws it makes it seem like you support these criminals.

Sign-ups are manual approval applications, no more automated sign-ups from them, if they have existing accounts and target another community it’ll be closed as well and those accounts banned, there isn’t a stream of new accounts though because all accounts going forward need to be manually approved.

Fair enough.

Ah I see what’s going on, you’re salty that they closed the shitposting community so you’re trolling here, going so far as to compare gays and jews to pedophillia (which is extremely bigoted and incorrect) or downplay the horrific acts that led to the closing of that community and registrations to protect the rest of the Instance’s well being.

Also I’d appreciate it if you didn’t edit what I said when quoting me, thanks.

Maybe you could start with making pull-requests to help and maybe also writting them an application on Matrix. I’m not being snarky just pointing out that it’s easier to help than you might think.

This is a serious problem we are discussing, please don’t use this as an opportunity to inject bad-faith arguments.

Edit: Wow your post history is a lot of the same garbage, there is no point in attempting to reason with you, you seem to be defending the act of CSAM or just trolling (really awful and severe trolling I might add, CSAM isn’t something to joke or troll about).

They also changed the account sign ups to be application only so people can’t create accounts without being approved.

A person who is attracted to children is an evil and disgusting person, someone being a pedophile isn’t just “liking something”, they are a monster.

I don’t know if it has been mentioned there yet but do you think it would be a good idea to post this to the lemmy incidents room on Matrix?

What misinformation, are you trying to imply that the known instance wasn’t defederated for hosting or allowing the hosting of illegal content, do you think they weren’t at all or do you think loli is acceptable and not CSAM, because FYI opinions may vary but the law is clear CSAM even fictional is illegal to produce, host, or consume.

Indeed there was. I don’t understand why.

There was an Instance (check bottom of instances page, it’s the most recent one in blocked as of writing this) that had rules allowing loli (drawn CSAM) which was defederated very recently. I originally made a post about it on support but deleted it because there was a lot of backlash (backlash against defederating a loli CSAM instance 😒) so I just messaged about it privately, not just to lw admins but to many others as well across lemmy.
