    Musk displayed uncommonly detailed knowledge of the Southeast Asian child sex trade in the aftermath of the Thai Cave Crisis. It's not a big stretch to allowing CSAM on his own social media network.

  • Surely, X should be shut down by some act of god.

  • For the government to subsequently reopen it?

    There has never been a more blatant honeypot in the history of American social media.

  • It took me a bit to realize you mean "MAPs" (so-called "Minor Attracted Persons") and not cartographical instruments.

  • Off topic, but gore should be treated the same way legally

  • I get downvoted whenever I bring this up but nobody has a good argument on why it should remain legal.

  • Why? What about surgical videos?

  • Because? Death is an inevitable part of life. If anything, it reminds you appreciate you feeble existence a little more.

  • Im curious, why?

    The argument against CSAM is easy: the creation of the content is clearly harmful to the victims, its viewing and distribution furthers that harm, and its availability has the potential to increase demand.

    How do we get to a similar place for gore?

  • Can someone explain why the goal is only to remove the images and not go after whoever posted them? You'd think the pool of posters would eventually shrink to zero.

    What makes you think they aren't?

  • The only conclusion I can come to at this point is that it's a honeypot.

  • The newsworthy thing here, IMO, is that they don’t even seem to be checking images against the NCMEC database

    > The U.S. national center shares digital fingerprints with major technology companies so they can scan and remove the imagery. The center’s list is used by Google and Meta, among others. About a third of the images found by The Times were from that list.

  • NCMEC won't share that database with almost anyone. I wouldn't be surprised if they denied it to Elon.
