I feel it's a good idea for those building native clients for Lemmy implement projects like these to run offline inferences on feed content for the time-being. To cover content that are not marked NSFW and should be.
What does everyone think, about enforcing further censorship, especially in open-source clients, on the client side as long as it pertains to this type of content?
I wish there were such detectors for other triggering stuff, like gore, or creepy insects, or any visual based phobia. Everyone just freaks out about porn.
Actually am looking at this exact thing. Compiling them into an open source package to use on Swift. Just finished nsfw. But everything you mentioned should be in a “ModerationKit” as well. Allowing users to toggle based on their needs.
How is BSD-3 not open source? I think you are confusing "Free/Libre" and Open Source. BSD-3/MIT licenses are absolutely open source. GPL is Free/Libre and Open Source (FLOSS)
By definition you can't have some of these things open source, CSAM/NSFW detection needs to be closed source because people are constantly trying to get around it.
It's an interesting idea, and given the direction some economies are moving (looking at you EU & UK) something like this is likely going to feature whether we like it or not. The question for me however is what is the nature of the training data? What some places consider "porn" (Saudi Arabia, the Vatican, the US) is just people's bodies in more civilised places. Facebook's classic "free the nipple" campaign is an excellent example here: why should anyone trust that this software's opinion aligns with their own?
Yeah. Have been thinking of this exact scenario. How to create solutions around anything that might “filter” while respecting the worldviews of all. I feel the best approach so far, is if filters are to be implemented. It should never be a 1 all be all and should always be “a toggle”. Ultimately respecting the user’s freedom of choice while providing the best quality equipment to utilize effectively when needed
Sweet, so us instance owners are literally fighting off a CSAM attack here on lemmy, and a lot of instances have shut down because of it. So, you're stepping up to host now and will deal with the feds and the laws that are broken? Great, thanks.
Depends on the country you live in but in most countries there are laws to protect you against abuse. Personally I wouldn't host anything for anyone except myself because then I would need to give everyone my full name and home address, because that's the law in Germany.
Cool, I assume you are volunteering to go through all the pornographic content and make sure it doesn't contain minors, and that it only involves people that consented to it, and take all legal responsibility for hosting and serving any illegal content? Great, I'll contact all the Lemmy admins for you.
I hear you, and if love to live in a world where people could be trusted not to be assholes when posting things on social media, but sadly we don't live in that world. In this world, people post some Truly Evil Shit, and this presents a problem when a platform scales.
