This is so gross that I’m not even going to quote it past the opening paragraph.

A high-profile investigative journalist who worked with ABC News and the New York Daily News has just pleaded guilty to the possession of horrific child sexual abuse materials. James Gordon Meek, 53, once held a position as a senior counterterrorism adviser and investigator for the US House Committee on Homeland Security.

@Flick It is somewhat interesting that the tip came from Dropbox, which means cloud storage providers are vetting content.

@sullybiker Presumably they run it through that hash system that people have been talking about on here today.

@Flick Very probably. I know google got some shit for screening drive for content and removing wrongthink, but I don't care if people look for CSAM

@sullybiker That’s an interesting take. What’s your logic? I’m guessing you don’t have kids?

@Flick No I mean I don't mind them checking for that kind of material.

@Flick I feel fortunate to have not seen any. I've seen it mentioned in the context of Anime 'enthusiasts' hosting it, but mercifully little else.
