i was weighing or not i would make a post on this but i think in the interest of protecting children this really needs to be outlined
Poast has been trying since the fall to utilize cloudflare's automated CSAM scan function that they are walling off behind a login from NCMEC
our goal is simple, we want to prevent or deter people from uploading CSAM materials that can be then distributed from Poast -- something a normal reasonable person should want to involve themselves in if they are operating a social media site, let alone one with notoriety like poast is quickly gaining
over a month passed from the time poast registered and Erin Hunter responded with the default "welcome we need you to fill out this form blabla" as seen in image #1
image #2, a month later she responds that NCMEC can't help us as our platform is registered in canada, despite none of our hardware existing in canada -- because the name poast is registered here we can't use NCMEC. we reply back and forth about poast's root servers being in San Diego, Piscataway and Newark
this banter of her telling us we cant use NCMEC to report child pornography because Poast has a Canadian registration goes back and forth and it's become clear to me/us that NCMEC doesn't care about the child porn reports as much as they do about bureaucratic white tape
this becomes majorly apparent when this woman refuses to accept responsibility and tags cloudflare representatives in to tell me NCMEC doesnt want to deal with us
NCMEC doesn't want to prevent the spread of child porn because of red tape they had to call in cloudflare to explain
NCMEC refused to allow us access to compare hashes of images uploaded to poast because I registered poast in canada
they don't care about protecting children or preventing the spread of child pornography. at all. and if you try to tell me they do you're a fucking retard full stop
