[Important] Catbox Needs Your Help -
blog.catbox.moe

I’ve seen catbox.moe used around here quite a lot, and I’ve used it too, mainly for allowing hot-linking to embed media.

Patreon and Ko-Fi restricted Catbox’s account based on CSAM reports (assuming from the e-mails).
Ko-Fi has restored the account after providing information on the moderation of such content:

I responded to Ko-Fi with a bit more in depth of the systems Catbox uses to monitor uploads for malicious content, and they reinstated my Ko-fi account on Thursday, May 22nd.

    The reason for his post was that a provider shut down his access on the accusation of CSAM, without (according to him) much if any investigation. Cloud providers have all manner of automated systems for reporting CSAM, copyright, and other potential abuses, and generally seem to take a guilty-until-proven-innocent approach. They may or may not even be responsive to defense or explanation. Colo isolates you from abuse of those systems.
