We know it’s bad for us

You have the knowledge in the back of your mind. The warnings make you have it in active thought.

we don’t need a nanny state

Do you truly believe consumers usually/always make rational and reasonable decisions, that don’t go against their own interests?



in many cases when people bring up boy’s or men’s issues they will only do so while simultaneously attacking feminist talking points.

This is very much a talking point by “only girls can have issues” people.

“Men don’t have issues, men’s rights groups only exist to spread misogyny!”

That is a key point of why the idea that men’s issues are not taken seriously is spreading, because simply talking about / focusing on men’s issues quickly gets people labled as misogynists.

This both gets people to stop caring about the idea of misogynism, because “apparently simply talking about men’s issues is misogyny”, and thereby also pushes people to develop more problematic views.



You seem to be missing my point.

This tool would not increase censorship.

Admins are already able to implement all censorship they want.

Admins are already able to block left-wing opinions, right-wing opinions, child porn, normal porn.

And that already happens.

Lots of instances (like feddit.de) block pornographic content.

Lots of instances (like lemmy.blahaj.zone) block right-wing content.

It is already possible, and it is already happening.

An AI which can detect CSAM (and potentially other content) won’t change that. It will simply make the admins’ job easier.


I don’t know how you get the impression that this increases censorship.

Instance admin already manually block content. And they are already able to do that to any extend they wish to do.

This tool would simply automate that process.

Admins would not gain or lose any ability to block content. Identifying child porn would simply be easier.

(Imagine an admin going to their database and doing a CTRL+F with the term “child porn”, and then going through the posts to find offending ones. But instead of CTRL+F it’s an AI.)

(For some reason I don’t get a notification when you answer my comment. Is that a known issue? Did you block me or something?)


I’d be like “Oh boy let me get redirected to lots of useful answers to my question next time too”.

I don’t understand why you would frame that as being “slapped”. Does having your question marked as a duplicate hurt your feelings?


That’s not the point. Yes, child porn sites can host child porn. Other sites/instances can’t stop that. But what other instances can stop, is redistributing said child porn. And for that purpose, such technology would be useful.



Isn’t it a good thing if your question is marked as a duplicate? That means you now have lots of answers readily available which already answered the question.


Governments like the EU do not just regulate to gain power. No need to spread disinformation just so you can be more pessimistic.
