I believe that part of the problem is how trigger happy the platforms are to reports of CSAM and other "black issues". They don't do any research, they just ban and call it a day. Your government could go to them and say, "hey, you should do due research before banning a user,", and the platform will turn back and say "you passed a law last month where I would be banned from operating in the country if I allowed any photo of somebody under 18 wearing less than a full-body skimo wolly suit, but I'm not allowed to ask for an ID to know the user's age. What am I supposed to do? Deploy a trigger happy AI? I just did!"

So, in a sense, we live in the best world possible.

May I suggest that you just block and mute the prostitutes, if they offend your sensibilities? That's what I do. Because in the next iteration of censorship, we might lose the social networks altogether.

Don't tempt me with a better world.

I honestly think that's the way things are going. People are tired of AI generated junk and doom scrolling. I notice a lot of young people have migrated to places like discord or group chats lately. A tight knit circle of friends without a "feed" run by algos. I'm excited if this holds true!

That's what forums used to be, but running them is more a chore than simply establishing a closed group somewhere.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Meta don't seem to care much about actual CSAM at all.

I have a throwaway account on Facebook that follows no pages and has no friends. In the absence of anything else to go on, Facebook somehow decided that I would most like to see anti-vax conspiracy, flat earth theory and child sexual abuse material.

Every report I've made about the CSAM has met the same "we found nothing wrong" response, and it keeps bubbling up in my feed.

Might be worth reporting to the FBI, at that point.

"To whom it may concern,

I have discovered an international child porn sharing ring which I believe to be much bigger than any previously known or imagined.

The ring operates openly on the Internet, without anonymous technologies. Therefore it should be easy to track down the perpetrators.

The name of the ring is Instagram. You can view their recruiting page at instagram.com.

Yours truly, anonymous reporter"

I mean I would probably link the content, but that's just me.

Might want to try a different jurisdiction these days.

EU, Canada, Australia, Japan, f'rex.

I'm in Australia, so I kick it to the Australian Federal Police (FBI equivalent) via https://www.accce.gov.au/
