On October 23rd we defederated the instance `kasumi.loliimoutolove.com` for violating community rule 11 of Tooters by hosting Lolicon.While the legality of this content varies depending on the country you look at, it is federally illegal in the United States since the Protect Act (2003) added language which specifically forbids it.Now that our blocklist is publicly available any new suspensions we enact are monitored by numerous bots that broadcast it. The owner of ^ the domain noticed… 🧵

…and emailed us on October 29th to argue that we need to break apart our rule 11 (which is itself a category of related offenses) to create a separate rule specifically for Lilicon/Shotacon, and then update our FediBlock announcement to remove mention of rule 11 being the reason we suspended her domain.Naturally we refused to do this, and I responded by explaining how normalizing this type of content actively endangers children, hurts victims, and is one form of grooming that is used… 🧵

…her response was to threaten me by saying if I didn’t do as was asked of me that she would report Tooters for distribution of CSAM because of our FediBlock announcements where we list the domain name of the instance we are suspending for violating community rule 11.I didn’t think much of the threats coming from some defender of anime depicting children in sexual scenarios, but she did follow through. On October 30th, filing reports with our web host, email provider, and domain registrar… 🧵

…this didn’t bother me from a stance of feeling like our FediBlock posts have any effect besides helping to ensure as many admins as possible are aware of instances harboring this type of content.What did worry me was the fact that you can never be sure how various service providers will respond to reports. Moving between data centers would have been a pain, but feasible, and there would have been a few hours of downtime. If Tooters domain was seized it would take us offline entirely… 🧵

…on Friday we received our answer from all three, and they agreed that the announcements we publish for community members, and the fediverse network by including # FediBlock was considered a form of service notices as a platform provider.Moving forward not only will we be continuing our practice of transparency with our community members, but will also continue to contribute to FediBlock.We will never water down this revolting content by making a separate rule for MAPs seeking validation.

What is even more ridiculous is that this person (Emma) took the language I used with her to explain how this content is illegal (and even if it wasn’t it’s morally revolting) and used it in her report with our web hosting provider hoping to get Tooters taken offline. Seems like maybe someone knows how much of a disgusting human being they really are.The original report filed:

Tooters has had a working relationship with NCMEC since July, shortly after we first began submitting all known cases of CSAM we encountered to them. The amount of reporting we were doing prompted someone from NCMEC to reach out to us to help clarify what they do/don’t want us reporting.In terms of animated depictions (Lolicon/Shotacon) if the server hosting it is in any of these countries they can’t act on it, and don’t want it reported:JapanRussiaCubaGuatemalaBrazil

Tooters practice of reporting CSAM to NCMEC as we encounter it began after my attorney informed me that not doing so could lead to potential legal liability given the worst circumstances. Specifically when looking at 18 U.S. Code section 2258 which requires that we do so.I would like to think we are not alone in reporting, but I’ve yet to encounter another admin stating that they regularly do so. To that end I would argue Tooters is the only 🇺🇸 based instance in compliance with U.S. law.

Occasionally one of the instances we defederate will prompt someone to reply to our FediBlock announcement to say, “hey you know that domain is on the Oliphant blocklist you should import it to save yourself the hassle.”It’s always fun to reply with, “we’d rather do our own homework. Importing a blocklist blindly is already dumb enough, but choosing a blocklist that includes our instance on it would be sheer idiocy.”:fedi_block: :macvictor: :emoji_wink:

When iOS 17.2 is released any day now it will enable the faster 15W Qi2 charging standard for iPhone 13/14 to bring them in line with the iPhone 15, but please do continue to wax poetic about Apple’s “planned obsolescence.”

Apple Music collaborative playlists were in iOS 17.2 but then pulled with beta 4, and now they’re back in 17.3 db1. When they announced delaying the feature until 2024 I didn’t think that meant this soon.:Apple_Music: :iOS17: https://www.macrumors.com/2023/12/12/ios-17-3-beta-apple-music-collaborative-playlists/
