Let’s take the spam conversation a little bit further

Let me pitch a scenario-

You’re on decentralized social media site and it turns out the security on your device is poor (if you’re phone is not on lockdown with paid malware blockers, it definitely is)

You click on a link (have you ever seen the tracker bot?) or you get into a vibe coded app that doesn’t push you a permissions notification for your camera

And now someone is remote accessing your camera without your knowledge- those are called RATs, remote accessing tools and they’re common

Let’s just say that person has malicious intent towards you and now they are capturing photos of you- non consensual ones - ones while your getting ready for a shower or taking a bath and scrolling maybe?

And then they start uploading those photos of you anon to a censorship resistant social media

If there are no filters in place, they make it onto the relays no problem

If client operators aren’t catching them, the whole world now has your non-consensual photos and you have no way to take them down in that environment because they’re stored on shared, mirrored servers

This is why niche internet places are not spaces for survivors to share their stories, this is not a safe place for that- in fact, it’s incredibly dangerous

How much do you think those photos would go for? In a world with P2P mirrored immutable media compression… I, personally, don’t want to know because

It’s gross and it’s disgusting and there are people in this world that are absolute scum of the earth creeps who would not hesitate to sell you for their profit

Filters are the only thing that stands between us and that reality.
