It not only have problems with CSEM (the real-life stuff), but there are now bots spamming it and Twitter made reporting it a chore.
“Please provide more context”, WTF it’s literally just CSEM plus a link I won’t click even if my life depends on it!
I’m quite sad since a lot of the creators I’m following are still only there, or on the boneless fediverse app BlueSky (which is worse in some ways), and I still need to keep it around just to protect my user handle there and to look things up from time to time.
Once I’m at home from work, I’m locking my account, and put up a farewell message to whoever might miss me.
I’m not saying that the fediverse is perfect, far from it (especially certain segments of Lemmy), but it’s a way better experience than whatever Xitter (or Reddit for that matter) tries to be. I even have more reach, especially since the whole paid blue checkmark thing.
What’s CSEM, is that like CSAM?
Yeah, can we just agree to stop using unexplained acronyms? Even as a terminally online person, I struggle to keep up with the new ones that keep popping up daily and it’s exhausting. Some time ago, I also had to look up what CSAM meant because suddenly everyone was saying it out of nowhere and it was critical to the context.
Couldn’t have said it better.
It makes some sense to me in that some media might contain any actual abuse, e.g. images generated and shared publicly by underage teenagers without any coercion. I think most of us would still consider it exploitative for other people to share and view that media.
Might be “exploitation” instead of “abuse”.
I still didn’t get why we stopped calling it CP instead of CSAM or CSEM or whatever it is now.
Yeah same. I first remember hearing it when Apple was planning that amazingly invasive local scanning of user images. Now it seems to be everywhere.
I’m not against it though. CP could’ve described multiple things and this one is a lot less mistakable when you know. CP wasn’t particularly intuitive either— no easier to decipher, merely that with years of use many people knew it— so it’s an upgrade overall I think.
Another benefit is that it includes “abuse” in the name. That’s important and ensures the people who seek that stuff out won’t borrow the term like they did CP.
They stopped calling it CP. As Porn is typically consensual and is typically what people think of when they think of Porn, they’re not thinking it’s two legal persons where one has not consented. Thus to avoid any confusion or possibility of downplaying its severity they changed the term from CP.
supposedly because the porn part makes it sound consensual
I would think the “child” part would rule that out.
Lol exactly
I don’t think that really makes sense because revenge porn is technically porn and it’s not consensual.
So I would disagree calling something porn doesn’t imply consent, it merely describes sexually explicit material.
usually the porn part is consensual and only the sharing is not, but I see what you mean
I think it’s part because of definition of porn, and pedos were like “but what about erotica?”, and there were CSEM that used such clauses to get around bans, essentially by claiming they’re artistic nudes.
Was wondering the same thing
