Wow, I was not expecting to see this take in the wild. The ex-volunteer in question was the only person on the volunteer team with experience handling CSAM and was then kicked off the volunteer team. The owner of this site offered expertise in dealing with CSAM on social media sites (as they worked for LJ) and was turned down. I am also an ex-volunteer (I quit due to health issues, before all this started, and was not exposed to CSAM myself) and they're right that the structure of the site and how volunteers are managed is deeply fucked. And changing the Board (elected officials) may not help unless they can deal with the Chairs (unelected and more powerful and blocking hiring actual experts). This is the kind of problem most non-profits encounter as they grow, but the attacks using CSAM have to make reform of the volunteer structure a priority.

Thank you! This is extremely helpful information (and I'm sorry if you felt provoked into sharing it or anything.) I still think AO3 is only half the equation and whoever is behind the CSAM attacks needs to be stopped as well. (My poor wording I know makes it sound like it's the ex-volunteer and the CEO when it wasn't and that was my poor wording and my bad. Sorry.)

Thank you for sharing again. The type of information going around is not helpful to AO3 or resolving anything. And I do hope the chairs listen and get around to reform the volunteer structure. Because that's important but alas, non-profits are also notoriously slow about change (and some ways that is by design.)
