Sure, but requiring users to monitor the entire internet to report crimes is still a horrifically bad approach to online safety.
The platforms themselves must bear the burden of monitoring (and acting).

@ChrisMayLA6 Sadly that will get weaponized easily - did we learn nothing from DMCA?
@ChrisMayLA6 Just images or does this expand out to hate speech and/or intentionally misleading speech as well?

Fines at 10% of global revenue imposed by multiple countries could wipe out US social media companies.

In a world where AI porn (or other bad things) can be created and posted in minutes...
Where algorithms boost it to thousands (or millions) or people...

Across a half-dozen major tech platforms...
Who really thinks that 48 hour takedown (after user report) is a solution?
Imagine that safety approach to cars or meds.

Absolutely. Big money will be spent to stop this. Can't slow down the money machine.
@ChrisMayLA6 Whatever happened to Ofcom's investigation into X? The one that they hoped would have a speedy result. That was weeks ago, and not a peep out of them since.
@ChrisMayLA6 It's taken them a whole month to decide to begin researching X .. 🤦♀️
