redlight

"The red light means stop!"

An advanced abuse management tool. It's a Synapse module that allows server owners to either run a "redlight server", or to act as a "redlight client" to prevent their own users from accessing abusive rooms. It's designed to block child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and other abusive content on the Matrix network.

This software attempts to resolve the complex problem of how to share pointers to rooms containing abusive content in order to block or report activity. These room lists are sensitive and sharing them can not only aid people in blocking this content but also direct bad actors to said content.

The goal of this tool is to simply block this content as efficiently as possible across many small-medium sized servers.

Features

Easy, setup for homeserver owners via Synapse Module
Private, hashing is used to prevent redlight clients from sharing room_ids with redlight servers
Decentralised, many people can run redlight servers with their own blocking policies, redlight clients are free to pick a provider
Safe, access restrictions and ratelimiting are used to guard the content of rdlist
