Guessing there's no way to track down the uploaders?
I suppose many of them probably are posting behind VPN or Tor.
That would be a lot of work for admins, but perhaps reporting the CSAM to the FBI or something. I'm pretty ignorant about how that all works.
I'm no expert on this; but I'd assume that it is sometime easy to track them down, and sometimes very hard. Easy if they just do a direct upload from their home internet with a fixed IP address, using a regular lemmy account that they also use for day-to-day stuff. But hard if (for example), they use upload from some coffee shop wifi connection with a throw-away account using some tor / proxy / VPN shenanigans.
