I noticed a bit of panic around here lately and as I have had to continuously fight against pedos for the past year, I have developed tools to help me detect and prevent this content.
As luck would have it, we recently published one of our anti-csam checker tool as a python library that anyone can use. So I thought I could use this to help lemmy admins feel a bit more safe.
The tool can either go through all your images via your object storage and delete all CSAM, or it canrun continuously and scan and delete all new images as well. Suggested option is to run it using --all once, and then run it as a daemon and leave it running.
Better options would be to be able to retrieve exact images uploaded via lemmy/pict-rs api but we’re not there quite yet.
Let me know if you have any issue or improvements.
EDIT: Just to clarify, you should run this on your desktop PC with a GPU, not on your lemmy server!
This is normal . You should be worried if it wasn’t catching any false positives as it would mean a lot of false negatives would slip though. I am planning to add args to make it more or less severe, but I it will never be perfect. So long as it’s not catching most images, and of the false positives most are porn or contain children, I consider with worthwhile.
I’ll let you know when the functionality for he severity is updated
