 Woooaahhh wait. Mallory said the words ***** p*****raphy on the livestream. Was that hyperbole? 

I’ve never seen that on Nostr nor did I know it even existed on any relay. Thats a severe issue if so, especially when people say Nostr is early. 

@rabble @Mallory @rabble @vrod 
 Assuming this is about porn on nostr, yes, it’s everywhere. Some is tasteful, tagged nsfw, and posted by the person themselves, but most stolen and reposted by automated spam accounts. 

Other than efforts by Rabble and a few paid relays that filter it out, very little work has been done whatsoever on either the client or relay level to moderate, filter, or label this for those that want to. 
 But is it of minors? 
 Ahhhhh. I couldn’t figure out the first word. Fuuuuuuck that. 

Thankfully, I have seen none of that here. That said, nostr is ripe for abuse by that sort of thing, so it wouldn’t surprise me. 
 Wowza. I think @Mallory is still on the panel had to switch it off for a 10am mtg. Definitely curious if that’s her experience in seeing it because I haven’t seen it either. 
 If it’s even a little bit true, nostr is going to attract the attention of governments and media in a very bad way. 
 Yes, we have encountered it on here and called it out, & recommended relays shut down that sort of thing. 

Otherwise the working option is to mute it, which means we end up *seeing” that shit in order to mute it. It’s disgusting. 

Right now it’s users telling other users “hey this is out there, mute this so you don’t have to see it like I did” and that sucks. 
 What handle though? It’s too serious of accusation to not actually be specific 
 I am not leading people to that, naming it, or putting an @ in front of it. The profile contained clear images of it, & stated clearly that it was into that. 
 I understand 
 Nostr.build checks for and removes CSAM (child pornography and other child related sexual material). They also have moderators which prevent any adult content showing up in the public galleries.

But people can use Nostr to post content on their own self hosted media server like blossom… they could also link CSAM hosted elsewhere on the web. 

There is a nip, or maybe a proposal that would let you upload files to a media server where the server operator can’t see the content… I’m not keen on that feature.  
 I appreciate the knowledge and you guys too. The fighter in me comes out is all and if I saw it with my own two eyes, it’s a wrap on that. 
 It wasn’t hyperbole unfortunately. 
 Great panel today. Truly horrific re: the above. If there’s an active account you’re aware of or relay and you are comfortable DMing the name not even the @, I’d appreciate it. Same re if it comes up again real time. Aiming to verify is all 
 You’ve seen it too?
