I noticed a bit of panic around here lately and as I have had to continuously fight against pedos for the past year, I have developed tools to help me detect and prevent this content.

As luck would have it, we recently published one of our anti-csam checker tool as a python library that anyone can use. So I thought I could use this to help lemmy admins feel a bit more safe.

The tool can either go through all your images via your object storage and delete all CSAM, or it canrun continuously and scan and delete all new images as well. Suggested option is to run it using --all once, and then run it as a daemon and leave it running.

Better options would be to be able to retrieve exact images uploaded via lemmy/pict-rs api but we’re not there quite yet.

Let me know if you have any issue or improvements.

EDIT: Just to clarify, you should run this on your desktop PC with a GPU, not on your lemmy server!

    I’m not training it. Im using publicly available clip models.

    The false positive rate is acceptable. But my method is open source so feel free to validate on your end

      Acceptable isn’t a percentage, but I see in your opinion that it’s acceptable. Thanks for making your content open source. I do wish your project the best of luck. I don’t think I have what it takes to validate this myself but if I end up hosting an instance I’ll probably start using this tool more often myself. It’s better than nothing at at present I have zero instances but also zero mods lined up.
