  • It is not “in the whole fediverse”, it is out of approximately 325,000 posts analyzed over a two day period.
    And that is just for known images that matched the hash.

    Quoting the entire paragraph:

    Out of approximately 325,000 posts analyzed over a two day period, we detected
    112 instances of known CSAM, as well as 554 instances of content identified as
    sexually explicit with highest confidence by Google SafeSearch in posts that also
    matched hashtags or keywords commonly used by child exploitation communities.
    We also found 713 uses of the top 20 CSAM-related hashtags on the Fediverse
    on posts containing media, as well as 1,217 posts containing no media (the text
    content of which primarily related to off-site CSAM trading or grooming of minors).
    From post metadata, we observed the presence of emerging content categories
    including Computer-Generated CSAM (CG-CSAM) as well as Self-Generated CSAM
    (SG-CSAM).

    …and nothing prevents new apps such as Threads from using ActivityPub differently, being incompatible with existing apps and further dividing the space
