Doesn’t change the fact that this is an issue. Besides, do you think American law applies everywhere?

Very easily you say? Maybe tell us what this cron job is so we can all add it?

Doesn’t change the fact that this is an issue.

Whether it’s illegal content or storage-filling DoS attacks, the issue needs to be addressed.

I don’t care if you don’t like my English writing. I brought up the issue and if people don’t care about it then whatever. We’ll just have to wait until it’s abused then maybe people will be actually concerned.

Entitled attitude? I’m just bringing it up again. It was brought up some time ago but wasn’t given attention so I’m bringing it up again after the recent CSAM attacks.

I didn’t demand anything in the post. I brought up the issue, explained why it’s important, and what admins could do about it.

I don’t know how to code but that doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to bring this issue to light…

They are stored in the pctrs folder. They don’t have file extensions but are viewable with many image programs.

The issue is that you can share the image link to other people. People CAN get the content back out and admins or moderators WILL NOT KNOW about it.

So if someone uploads an illegal image in the comments, copies the link and does not post the comment, then they have a link of an illegal image hosted on someone’s Lemmy instance. They can share this image to other people or report it to the FBI. Admins won’t know about this UNLESS they look at their pictrs database. Nobody else can see it so nobody can report it.

That’s another issue. Also a necessary feature.

This is a nice tool but orphaned images still need to be purged. Mentioned on the other thread that bad actors can upload spam to fill up object storage space.

Explain.
