Porn Site Gave Federal Agents Free Rein
Frosty Piss writes "The operators of a notorious porn site Free6.com granted federal agents administrative access to the site, giving investigators the ability to monitor traffic and public and private chats in an effort to identify users trading 'a significant amount of child pornography.' Though some bloggers have speculated about whether law enforcement officials have secretly been given administrative access to sites where users have been known to post child pornography (like 4chan), the Free6.com arrangement is apparently the first such compact to be disclosed by investigators."
You're confusing 4chan with /b/ again. Please don't.
While Free6.com included a notice warning that the posting of “child pornography or other illegal material” would be reported to “local authorities,” Burdick had site administrators add a line noting that, “Free6.com may disclose these communications to the authorities at its discretion.”
Site says to stop posting inappropriate, illegal material. Site warns that it will report such content to authorities. Site acts on threat.
Snuff films don't exist. Yes, videos of people dying have been found/made - and collections of accidental death footage have been sold to the public, but nothing like the deliberate filming of a murder for sexual gratification. Videos with amazingly realistic special effects have been found (ask Charlie Sheen) but nothing like what is popularly defined as a "snuff" film has ever been found. http://www.snopes.com/horrors/madmen/snuff.asp
Also "I believe that the laws prohibiting possession of child pornography have been shown to reduce the production of same." - citation needed. Don't get me wrong, I report all that shit to https://secure.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/CybertipServlet?LanguageCountry=en_US when I see it, but what you suggest is, AFAIK, unproven - as well as the equivalent to arresting citizens for reading classified material on wikileaks.
The reason that a rapist rapes women is to satisfy their desire for pornography? I think your logic is flawed.

Some people would say that touching up and undressing underage kids in public is some sort of porn.

Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
When reporting pedophiles using a hosting service I worked for we had regular contact with the police and heard horror stories of converted farms and other properties turned into child porn factories.
At the time it was very hard for the police to get action taken against organizations in Eastern Europe and Russia, and it was a big deal when my friend got a call from Interpol to say that one of the tips was used to nail a large operation.
Granted, this was a decade ago, but there were people then who would pay to get their fix from a single source and I'm sure there are now. Just like any person who prefers a "private" torrent site to limit their IP exposure.
Well the part that pisses me off is that now some are getting busted for thoughtcrime. If someone with better Google Fu than me can find a link there was a guy busted not to long ago for having dirty stories involving children and is now looking at 30 years. that's right folks, not some threatening letters, no actual children anywhere in sight, just words on a a page. And of course I'm sure we've all heard about the guy looking at the same for having some lolicon comics. Again no actual children, nothing to do with reality at all, just pen and ink.
It is THIS bullshit that scares the hell out of me. How does one prove one didn't harm a figment of someone's imagination? How can one protect oneself when a simple .txt file can be dropped somewhere on your multi-TB HDD and get you 30 years? To me we have long gone past trying to protect kids and moved into thought crime, and everyone needs to point that out at every opportunity so they can't use hot button words to keep pushing this crap.
And a final note, one that fills this whole story with mucho irony in my book? According to a friend at the state crime lab the actual child molesters, you know the monsters they are supposedly doing this to catch and stop? Yeah they don't actually use the Internet anymore and haven't for several years now. What do they use? USPS. That's right, they only use the net long enough to set up their network which according to my friend a cop will NOT get into, because one of the prereqs is a video of a child being molested with certain items they will tell you to put in the video and they only give you a short amount of time to "prove your cred". After that it is all done by code and heavily encrypted DVDs via mail drops through good old USPS.
The only way the cops have found out as much as they know is a few got popped after the kids they abused called the law and they found stacks of encrypted DVDs and a few of the mail drops. but if they don't hear from a guy by X he is just labeled 'doa' and dropped from the network. And since the guys are looking at 200+ years they sure ain't gonna roll and no prosecutor is gonna give them any immunity. So he said now the only ones they catch on the net are social retards that haven't touched anyone but themselves and are sitting in some basement fapping to the same crap that has been floating around since the 70s. So all that money, all that effort, and it is a total fricking waste. he said they'd be much better off using that budget to increase investigators for local child abuse, but of course that don't make the 6 o'clock news. Just more theater in the end.
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
Everyone needs to read that link...seriously. I really don't care WHAT your feelings on the subject are on the Wikileaks page the insider provides links where MEDIADEFENDER is being used to find and prosecute people for CP Now think about that for a minute. You have a private corp, being paid by the government, probably on how many they "bust", to go out and hunt your fellow citizens to hit them with a charge that at best will ruin their lives. Not to mention these are the same morons that were caught doing seriously nasty shit like planting files and then calling the *.A.A on them when they were working for big media, and the same bozos who has sent extortion letters to networked printers.
Do we REALLY want private corps with profit motives and a history of "the ends justify the means" deciding which people go to prison, possibly for life?

I hate to have to be the one to tell you this, but there is still a slavery industry trading in all nations and all races. Every so often some 11 year old white girl escapes from a basement in Florida or something telling a tale of having been kidnapped and trafficked through Mexico.
Where the fuck did you think all those missing children go? They don't all become movie stars.
