Hi all,

We were getting several reports of people linking to csam content in the signal groups community. We tried to contact the moderator but no response in several days.

Its difficult to moderate this kind of content. Moderators of a lemmy community cannot be expected to visit each posted group around the clock to make sure it doesnt have csam content. Signal groups can change their content at any time.

So sorry to say, it had to be removed. If you were using it, I hope you find some other way to find new signal groups.

Thanks for taking action about it.

Signal groups with invite codes online were not a good idea in the first place. Nature of signal means that groups are size limited.

Also, what the fuck pedos. Hope your local enforcers pay you a visit.

Edit: Will lemmy.today admins be forwarding details to authorities?
