I don't know. It depends on your jurisdiction. However this is an automated tool and most detected images will be false positives. Requirements for reporting are necessary for validated CSAM but IANAL.
The IP is not visible from the object storage. I do store the OS path, so one would need to trace that to the pict-rs ID, and from the to the lemmy post id, and from there to the user.
To be honest, it's not a huge deal. The copyright cartel can easily send dmca requests to your isp just for having text guidelines. Not everyone has the bandwidth or energy to deal with stuff like that.
I just wish this wasn't done at the request of a transphobic racist who just did it to get back at is for getting banned for making transphobic and racist communities in this instance.

From where I'm sitting it looks like classic overconfidence. I would say keep your eyes open in the future but don't pick up the pitchforks just yet.
Do not produce massive amounts of free content for a massive corporation. How many times do you all have to learn this lesson?

That's literally impossible! An instance may go down, but it will stay cached.
cheers. Rejoined
Note that the script I posted is not transmitting the images to the AI Horde.
Also keep in mind this tool is fully automated and catches a lot of false positives (due to the nature of the scan, it couldn't be otherwise). So one could argue it's a generic filtering operation, not an explicit knowledge of CSAM hosting. But IANAL of course.
This is unlike cloudflare or other services which compare with known CSAM.
EDIT: That is to mean, if you use this tool to forward these images to the govt, they are going to come after you for spamming them with garbage
