Does make me wonder how Meta plans to federate Threads and stop the flow of nudes into their app...

AI image detection, ban specifically instances and then probably add their own service that acts as a middleman to filter out individual offenders.

Also probably just defederating from servers that allow unmarked NSFW or are bad at enforcing it. I don't often stumble upon NSFW content on my parts of the fediverse, and if I do it's almost always marked so that it is blurred and could be filtered out.

I fully expect Meta to use AI to help them identify users to block and servers to defederate from though - it's going to be interesting to follow.

If meta's image detection goes anything like tumblr's image detection, I can't even wait.

I specifically follow porn hashtags on my mastodon account, and I don't see all that much NSFW posts. So Meta probably doesn't have that much to worry about.
