Wow! This is the first I'm hearing of this.
nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 Luke "Vim Diesel" Smith has started a CSAM-Buster project that's supposed to do what it says on the title, and it's using Nostr for has distribution. Were you involved by any chance?

Wow, in the end the worlds largest collection of CP
This project collects hashes, voted on by users. According to the IWF even holding the hashes is illegal... and I don't know about the concept of voting.
This is so crazy and I have no idea how we can protect nostr from it if any reference is illegal and only centralized institutions are allowed to deal with it at all. Hashes sound like a reasonable thing to collect upon deleting stuff as it could be used to avoid displaying it to other users. Sadly hashes can indeed lead to discovery in content-addressable systems and of course, marking stuff as CP is a pretty sure way to keep people from opening it even if it's not actually CP.
Thanks for explaining the context.
