Yeah edgy teens i imagine. Not realising the seriousness of it all.
I mean, is CP really prominent enough to find easily? Unless they flat out did a specific search. But I don’t see why you would, I was just as scared as a teen when I was looking up how to get weed shipped to my house lmao. Noped out.
On the darkweb there’s shit everywhere.
But even 4chan bans child porn and they’re a bunch of degenerates.
That’s my only concern for Lemmy is it becomes a home for degenerate cunts
Degenerate cunts are everywhere, unfortunately. Online and offline. I think Lemmy is doing alright so far.
In the last 6 months 2 dudes in the same department at my job have been arrested for cp/doing pedo shit. I don’t trust anyone anymore.
Lemmy is overall well moderated. There will always be bad actors. The difference is whether they are properly removed and handled, or allowed to fester.
I can’t remember the News organization that did the reporting, but CSAM content grew a LOT during the pandemic, and learning of this, a news agency wanted to look into it, see how easy it was to find, they tried just doing some basic searches (the search terms for which they didn’t reveal) in major search engines, and turned up a lot of content, specifically in Bing I think off the top of my head. They nearly got in trouble with the FBI because of it. So yeah, if you go looking for it, apparently shockingly easy to come across.

Is this something edgy teens do to other social medias? It makes most sense that someone or some group that doesn’t like the recent success of Lemmy and the Fediverse would be behind this.
Now, what type of group is well known for breaking laws, having no concern for the well-being of people, and could do something like this with virtually no risk to themselves? And which of these groups in particular is known for having foreign ties to a country and people in that country that could facilitate this type of activity with little risk to themselves?
Unfortunately that describes multiple groups. But given the tactics, (if it is indeed an organized group) likely it’s the 50 Cent Party, possibly in retaliation for defederating hexbear.
That only really describes large corporate or state actors, anyone else is at serious risk of handling CSAM.
