Gonna have to be that guy again, but underage cartoon porn is not CSAM. CSAM as a term was invented to help law enforcement focus their limited resources on actual child victims. Underage cartoons are still child pornography, and still wrong and illegal, but CSAM is something else and deserves more immediate action.

There's no point in having technical terminology if it isn't used correctly :o)

Good point. Lemmy.ml admins said CSAM was the reason so just passing that along.

I don't visit ani.social, a quick glimpse just now shows me a few Images that seem like borderline, but not straight-up "drawn sexualized child characters". No idea how they usually are.

But from following the story, it seems pretty typical that even the lemmy.ml admins - who develop Lemmy as a whole - would do a defederation without a public transparent process or even a notification to the deferated instance. That's straight up unpolite.
