From your description it's unclear, does this also block CSAM that's physically on your infrastructure, or just any links to external content?

CloudFlare is currently attempting to block LLM bots and doing a shit job at it. I'm guessing that any CSAM blocking would be incomplete at best.

What happens if some "gets through", or if non-CSAM content is blocked, both materially, as-in, what happens, and, what are the legal implications, since I doubt that CloudFlare would ever assume liability for content on your infrastructure.

Edit: I thought I'd also point out that this is not the only type of content that could get you into a legal black hole. For example, if a post was made that circumvented a legal ruling, say when a court in Melbourne, Australia, makes a suppression order that someone breaches. Or if defamatory content was published, etc.

I am not a lawyer and I don't play one on the internet.

To my understanding the process is only prevented by controlling who can have an account on your instance.

That said, it's not clear to me how federated content is legally considered.

The only thing I can think of is running a bot on your instance that uses the API of a service such as what you mention to deal with such images.

Your post is the first one I've seen recently that is even describing the issue of liability, but it's in my opinion the single biggest concern that exists in the fediverse and it's why I've never hosted my own instance.

Unfortunately that doesn't work.

This is getting fucking tiresome. Now we're stopping humans who browse anonymously from reading content, what's next, block all humans and only let LLM bots access your site?

One place to look is 80000hours.org.

I don't keep a browser history at all, but my most recent visit was to:

• Vehicle registration plates of Western Australia

Or my favourite passive aggressive attempt by Admiral's anti-ad-blocking "technology":

"Continue without supporting"

This article doesn't at all explain what actually happens. There's a hand wavey description including PowerShell scripts and the clipboard, but it doesn't indicate how the code gets executed.

The article talks about a complex and sophisticated attack, but I don't see any evidence of that assertion.

Also, given that it's talking about PowerShell, I'm going to guess that this affects Windows only.

Finally, there's no source links, no CVE allocation, no indication what the URL looks like.

I'm going with deep scepticism about this report unless more information comes to hand.

Can't wait to see the Australian government completely ignore this rather than apply it to the fossil fuel lobby that's currently running the show.

Ashland VA has a recurring problem where non-Tesla drivers turn onto the tracks, there's dozens of cases.

Virtual Railfan YouTube channel will give you most of them.

Makes you wonder if Tesla used YouTube as a training tool.

I would be extremely careful, since it failed for a reason and you were very lucky not to set the house on fire, which looks like it came pretty close to.

There's a whole range of cli tools to extract and query structured data like that, but you might consider loading it into something like sqlite3 and treating it as a database because those formats are really not intended for queries, they're designed for sharing data.
