How would they if they can’t see it
Good point. I should’ve read the overview more carefully.
That being the case, my next question: Is this intended to be a CSAM sharing platform, or is it just naively a CSAM sharing platform?
That’s like sending letters to your water utility to ask them how they intend to stop people from drowning.
I mean, how do you expect anyone to enforce that? That’s like looking into every envelope or package sent through mail…
Usually you just keep logs and then it’s up to the police to enforce, obviously not anonymous though.
Yeah, that is the problem, If I started doing this, what is the point of being anonymous then.
Look, problems like CSAM can’t be solved just by shutting down the platforms used to distribute it. If one site goes down, they’ll just move to another. Problems like this can only be solved by addressing the root cause. However, on my end, i will do my best to tackle this issue.
Absolutely not. DeadDrop is built with privacy and security in mind, strictly for legitimate, ethical file sharing. It’s designed to empower users to share sensitive but legal information safely, not for any illegal activity.
I do not support or tolerate any use of the platform for sharing harmful or illegal content like CSAM. If such misuse is detected or reported, the file will be permanently deleted and the IP address will be blocked.
So naively then.
Do you have a suggestion on how to combat this while not snooping on a users files? Or are you just enjoying the soapbox?

No, there isn’t a solution.
You can’t ethically provide anonymous no-knowledge hosting.
So if you are doing nothing wrong you have nothing to hide?
LOL. No.
I’m not arguing against privacy.
I’m saying that because this is anonymous it will be used by creeps to store CSAM.
This project just looks like it was tailor made for CSAM.
Yeah. I’m kind of surprised no one else is really concerned about that. The legal ramifications of hosting a service like this are no joke.
Do you also think the government should be reading everyone’s mail? Should they be scanning every device capable of storing data ever shipped?
That’s definitely not the intention. It’s built for people who care about privacy, not for anything illegal.
There is significant overlap between those two groups.
They’re basically just poo-pooing the ideas of privacy and security, no more than “the government and corporations need access to everything you do because someone somewhere is doing bad things.”
It’s the same idea as “encryption bad because terrorists,” and “gun company bad because murders,” some people blame the people doing the bad thing, and some people blame the tool used or who created it.
