So, wait, they're saying that the complaint came from the .org registry but the domain is a .net

Verisign owns .net and another company called PIR owns .org, so I don't understand why they said the complaint came from the .org registry when nitter is a .net domain.

Being a proxy, you can't exactly filter out stuff easily, as it is a proxy. You can filter stuff out, but that would be time consuming and expensive.

It's a damn Twitter proxy.

Just lol at Njalla getting sassy about them going public about it, they can shut it. They seize domains like this on a daily basis and they're super unprofessional.

Nitter.net just transfer their domain to Namecheap at this point.

I’m using nitter.poast.org and nitter.unixfox.eu as the two alternatives to nitter.net since the original one does not load videos correctly. Either way, it’s a little shady that they have to steal the domain of the original Twitter while knowing what the site really is as they did it.

I don’t think they did this as an accident.

Imagine being THIS passive aggressive and petty. Completely unprofessional from any company, even one that services criminals!

I run my own custom semi-popular Nitter/Invidious-like services. I can and do filter things out but it's involved and does not catch everything that could cause issues. You can do it with regexes. But with images it's actually impossible unless you can run image recognition fast enough, which is extremely expensive and requires a model trained on illegal material, like PhotoDNA, which Microsoft will not publicly release for probably obvious reasons.

Which are they?

Not telling you. Nice try, stalker child.

Running a CSAM scanner is now possible for the average person and requires no illegal material.
However, the issue in this scenario is that the URL that was reported was just a service that decoded a base64 link in the URL and returned it to the browser. You could literally put anything in there (this means that email is literally CSAM and Njalla is distributing it over the internet which is a nono.)

Yes, Nitter would have to scan every b64 encoded image that gets passed to /enc/ for CP. That's what Njalla is asking of them lol. It's like blaming the post office because you sent yourself a bomb in the mail.

You can simply use CLIP to check if an image is a child and if the image is NSFW. https://gitgud.io/lukesmithxyz/jschan-anti-csam for example

CLIP takes 1-5 seconds to recognize a single image on my 3060. A delay like that would be acceptable for an imageboard like Jarty but not for a proxy service where 15+ images per page load are retrieved from an external source on demand and displayed quickly. Probably in the future it will be economically viable to use CLIP to scan images before sending them to the client.

CLIP takes 3 seconds to recognize a single image on my CPU and takes less than 100 milliseconds on my GPU.

I must be doing something wrong then. Would the processing time per image go up considerably if more than one image is being processed at once?

Yes, batching will help throughput greatly.

Am I misremembering or something but wasn't Njalla the same one that told Null to fuck off because he won't gargle the troon penis and whined about transphobia?

Regardless of the facts because the facts don't matter, the problem went unaddressed for more than 24 hours and so the website was shutdown.

this is how it works. someone must be on-call 24/7 to sweep it up

scroll upthread, that is irrelevant to what happened. he overlooked their email when he saw it in his inbox because it wasnt marked as urgent, so he mistakenly thought it was spam.

nitter.snopyta.org was downed in like 2022 because of some Euro C&D type of order that stated they host CP.

nitter.pussthecat.org (archive.ph) also had issues last year.
