Hi #mastoadmin - anyone willing to work with our company on proposing a PR to #mastodon to add #PhotoDNA scanning feature for inbound messages to help prevent the scourge of #csam? We're not developers, but might be able to help fund/promote a type of hook/API call or maybe even a PhotoDNA account for smaller instances to use that helps auto report to #ncmec ... reach out if interested.

Give us a boost for reach?
@derek Hi Derek!
Before sending any PR, we need to do design work on the Mastodon side for this kind of feature. I recently wrote an article about my (personal) vision for this: https://renchap.com/blog/post/evolving_mastodon_trust_and_safety/
You probably also want to reach out to https://about.iftas.org / @jaz as they started working on the matter.
@renchap @jaz Will start reading your ideas and agreed, would need a good design before any implementation. Also, hi @jaz - this is an issue near to my heart (and part of why my company exists - to protect kids from the evils of big tech and specifically create safe places for kids that need social media. How can we help? What do you need?
>What do you need?
We've been building the org for a few months, this month is about getting the funding through the door and seeing what staff we need.
Until the Web site is built we are convening mod teams, T&S practitioners, devs and stakeholders here: https://matrix.to/#/#space:matrix.iftas.org
