Abstract:

The Fediverse, a decentralized social network with interconnected spaces that are each independently managed with unique rules and cultural norms, has seen a surge in popularity. Decentralization has many potential advantages for users seeking greater choice and control over their data and social preferences, but it also poses significant challenges for online trust and safety.

In this report, Stanford Internet Observatory researchers examine issues with combating child sexual exploitation on decentralized social media with new findings and recommendations to address the prevalence of child safety issues on the Fediverse.
