I mean I’m not defending CSAM, just to be clear. I just disagree with any usage of AI that could turn somebody’s life upside down based on a false positive. Plus you also get idiots who report things they just don’t like.
You’ll never be able to get a definition that covers your question. The world isn’t black and white. It’s gray and because of that a line has to be drawn and yes it would always be considered be arbitrary for some. But a line must be drawn none the less.
That said, as a parent of 5 kids, I’m more concerned for false positives. I’ve heard enough horror stories about parents getting arrested over completely innocent pics of their kids as toddlers or infants, that may have genitalia showing. Like them at 6 months old doing something silly in the tub, or what have you. I don’t trust a computer program that doesn’t understand context to accurately handle those kinds of photos. Frankly, parents shouldn’t be posting those pics on social media to begin with, but I digress. It sets a bad precedent.
Yeah, but who decides what content is disturbing? I mean there is CSAM, but the fact that it even exists shows that not everyone is disturbed by it.
This is a fucking wild take

Agreed 100%, a line absolutely should be drawn.

There’s a vast gulf between automated moderation systems deleting posts and calling the cops on someone.
