FBI Hunt For Child Porn Thwarted By Tor

Posted by Unknown on from the cost-of-anonymous-communication dept.

v3rgEz writes "Documents released by the FBI provide an unusual inside look at how the agency is struggling to penetrate 'darknet' Onion sites routed through Tor, the online privacy tool funded in part by government grants to help global activists. In this case, agents were unable to pursue specific leads about an easily available child pornography site, while files withheld indicate that the FBI has ongoing investigations tied to the Silk Road marketplace, a popular, anonymous Tor site for buying and selling drugs and other illegal materials." Sounds similar to the problems that plagued freenet.

    No it's not. Drug possession is also a crime.

    And calling "manga" illegal is about as misleadingly stupid as calling "books" or "movies" illegal just because it's possible to create child pornography in the medium. These aren't subtle distinctions, if you can't tell the difference between a comic book and child porn you are a pretty twisted person.

    Nobody HAPPILY pays taxes. It is theft at gunpoint. Either you pay, or you are subject to punishment. There is no opting out. Im not trying ot sound like a anti-tax nut, its just the reality of the situation.

    I hope you get ass raped by an AIDS infected psychopath who films it, puts it on the internet in one of those TOR's. I wont buy it but I will damn sure enjoy watching you get your asshole reamed and get aids. Troll or not, if you cannot grasp the VERY SIMPLE concept that having sex with a 10 year old girl or boy is WRONG then I personally want to find you and blow your fucking brains out because quite frankly I don't give a FUCK what you think and I PERSONALLY have decided you do not need to contribute to the gene pool.

    Fuck YOU! This should not even be debated. Fuck dissidents fuck them right in their mother fucking hearts until they are dead dead DEAD, every last one of them. Dissidents have a CHOICE, the little 10 year old girl getting butt fucked most certainly does NOT have a choice. Fuck you and your rationalizations.
