BDSMLR and the Fight Against Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, so we think it’s only fitting that we renew our commitment to fighting child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
We want to be crystal clear: we have zero tolerance for CSAM. If you post CSAM, you're banned. No questions, no excuses, no second chances. We don't want child molesters on BDSMLR. And we do this not because we have legal obligations to do so but because it’s the right thing to do.
We use a significant amount of time, technology, and resources to detect, remove, and prevent content that exploits children from our platform.
We also keep educating ourselves on the latest trends and threats in this area, going beyond merely banning CSAM from our platform to address wider issues that endanger children and minors.
How We Fight CSAM
Protecting children from sexual exploitation is a top priority. Given the nature of our platform, we’re particularly vigilant about preventing BDSMLR from becoming a channel for child molestation and abuse.
CSAM isn't just digital content; it constitutes real and actual crimes committed against children and minors.
Our Technology
We use Cloudflare’s CSAM scanning tool, a technology that uses digital signatures known as hashes to identify CSAM.
It then compares all content our members upload against a CSAM database provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other organizations to block any CSAM before it can be posted, viewed, and shared.
This is the same technology that Facebook, Twitter, and other major social networks use to automatically detect and block CSAM from their servers.
Hany Farid, who would later become known as the father of digital forensics, developed the tech while teaching programming at Dartmouth College. Microsoft further fine-tuned it and donated it to NCMEC in 2009.
Our Human Moderators
Even with cutting-edge technology at our fingertips, our methods are not infallible. This is why we also depend on manual monitoring and community reports to catch anything that slips through. This helps increase our chances of identifying and eliminating CSAM as fast as humanly possible.
We Need Your Help
We’re doing everything we can, but we can’t do it alone. We have a strong team and robust technology, but we also need you to be vigilant against CSAM. That’s why we urge you to report any CSAM you see to support@bdsmlr.com as soon as you encounter it.
We also encourage you to speak up against CSAM and all other forms of child abuse and get in touch with local and national organizations that aim to fight these crimes.
We know it’s not the easiest. Witnessing CSAM can be deeply disturbing. If you come across any of these horrific images or videos, please look after yourself. We suggest participating in activities that prioritize your well-being, like spending time outdoors, creating art, or being with the people you love.
We're all just horny strangers on the internet, sure. But we're also all just humans who need to look after one another.
