On feddit.de, lemmy.world is only temporarily defederated because of CSAM until a patch is merged into Lemmy that prevents images from being downloaded to your own instance.
So I'll just be patient and wait. It's understandable the admins don't want to get problems with law enforcement.
Makes quite a bit of sense
Depending on jurisdiction it can be pretty hairy if your instance downloads it
IANAL but I'm pretty sure that in the US you have a "duty to report" and you can have legal protections if you end up getting it and then reporting it
But IANAL so I'd recommend looking into it with an actual lawyer if you run a website that hosts content
This is what I'm waiting for before I host my own as well. Rather not have to worry that much about constantly having to admin out CSAM.
Not to shill but I just found the other day that cloudflare has a csam scanning and reporting engine built into their proxies. In theory it gives them a window into the data stream by them decrypting and re-encrypting that could snatch a password hash, but 2FA makes that useless after a minute. Basically it scans anything that gets put in the cache and reports it, notifies you to pull it down, and automatically puts up a 451 block on the link.
Feddit is defed from so many instances it's actually not usable for me.
