Mastodon's decentralized social network has a major CSAM problem
The nature of the Fediverse is causing moderation problems.Mastodon has gained popularity over the past year as Twitter users looked for alternatives following Elon Musk’s. Part of its appeal is its decentralized nature that insulates it against the whims of billionaires who speak before they think. Unsurprisingly, though, what makes it so appealing has also proven to be a headache, making content moderation all but impossible.
Of course, the big problem with unfederated social media platforms such as Mastodon is that no one company or entity controls everything on the platform. Every instance has its own administrators, and they are the ones who are ultimately responsible. However, those admins cannot control and moderate what goes on in other instances or servers.
