    To be fair: they probably should have access to all imagery on the clock and on surveiled computers.

    Only Fans images are semi-public So I don’t see a privacy issue. If someone uses the access to masturbate or pirates content they should be prosecuted, of course.

    Cops being pigs does not mean they should not have basic tools. This also does not mean that every police station needs such a workstation.

      It’s also probably pretty easy for only fans to make software to detect and present a tiny subset of candidate streams for review. This seems like not a hard problem, Google does this already for the entire crawler accessible Internet.

      Cops love the back door, it’s easier to flashbang the whole family they found at the wrong address

    OnlyFans told Reuters that police do not have to subscribe to investigate a creator’s posts, but the platform only grants free access to accounts when there’s an active investigation. That means once police suspect that CSAM is being exchanged on an account, they get “full access” to review “account details, content, and direct messages,” Reuters reported.

    God forbid police have to do their fucking job.

    Headline should read:

    ‘Cops upset they have to pay to jerk it like everyone else.’

    I’ve never had an OnlyFans account, but I do have social media accounts. I have had the distinct impression in recent years of being stalked, followed online.

    However, that intensified monitoring seems to have only just begun. NCMEC just got access to OnlyFans in late 2023, the child safety group told Reuters. And NCMEC seemingly can’t scan the entire platform at once, telling Reuters that its access was “limited” exclusively “to OnlyFans accounts reported to its CyberTipline or connected to a missing child case.”

    These “cops” could check their local Catholic church or another place of worship, if they were looking to “detect” for child abusers.

    Bit of a side note, but why did they go with CSAM, when CP is quicker and easier to say/type?
