Listening to nostr:nprofile1qqs2m82zyqlayjqw5tjuf3j9jwszwuy2a03tq24xp0tmr4nxm2jmprgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqgjwaehxw309ahkvenrdpskjm3wwp6kysvkrjq 's interview with Eliza Bleu, what a fascinating and important conversation.

I was stunned that as an advocate for survivors of abuse her first reaction was excitement about nostr's censorship resistant properties! I did not realize how valuable the ability to publish the testimonies of survivors was.

I also very much appreciate the way she later goes on to talk about the threat CSAM poses to nostr. If nostr ever amounts to anything, it will be slandered as a refuge for evil people. I completely sign on to her mission to make it hard for people to say that's the case.

Currently, I don't do much in Coracle itself to identify or censor certain kinds of content. Once encrypted chat gets sorted out though, I intend next to build decentralized moderation on top of NIP 32 labeling, but even that is more of a "self-policing" mechanism, although I think it could easily be used to find and report bad stuff.

I'm honestly not sure what role a client should take in identifying and reporting illegal content, partly because I think it's mostly relays that should be doing that. However, as a father of 4, I very much resonate with the mission, and I do believe it's compatible with freedom of speech.

Anyway, all that to say, welcome to nostr nostr:nprofile1qqszzv6swdqp5vgveytelca806txvugvlhmrph7cgruh9svr5fztrtgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqkfdsnr

I believe that Microsoft offers a library that is an encrypted way to scan the images on your server for possible illegal photos and report them.

I think maybe Iris already uses it nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk

There is a big market for third party safety tools like that to compete

I've had my eye on a library like that since April, just haven't had a chance to set it up. However long term I expect to be able to store images on nostr rather than my own server, so it will at that point become a problem for relay devs.

Is it like a suspicion or real evidence for that?

As I understand it, it usually is used as a flag for manual review

I think it cross matches it with real evidence that police have obtained. It might do other things too though

Like storing images in binary format as nostr events? Instead of just linking to a media server?

Both types of proposals have been put forward, I prefer the media server version (nip 96)
