    NSFW images can no longer be uploaded via Sync

    Why not? How can Sync tell if an image is NSFW?

      This was added in response to last weeks incident. Once additional tools are in place on instances I’ll look to remove this.

      Sync uses a local ML model to attempt to classify nsfw content.

        Neat, thanks!

        Think the restriction might be lifted in the future once this CSAM thing is figured out?

        Not a huge deal to me, I don’t plan on uploading any NSFW content and my instance has disabled all image uploading (for now) anyway. Really, I’m just curious.

          Yup. As I said once additional tools are in place on instances to deal with this issue I’ll look to remove the check in app 👍🏻

      Why not?

      Because Google is a diarrhea-soaked abomination of a company that will accuse you of personally trafficking child porn if people have the ability to abuse your app for unintended purposes. This is probably coming because lemmyworld’s shitposting board was closed after people spammed it with CP, and LJ is trying to get ahead of Google so they don’t de-list his app. Unfortunately for him, Google reviewers don’t (can’t) read, and will delist his app for a few days anyway. Calling it now.
