FBI "Took Over World's Biggest Child Porn Website" (telegraph.co.uk)

An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from The Telegraph: The FBI took over the world biggest child pornography website in a sting operation intended to catch viewers of sexual images of children sometimes 'barely old enough for kindergarten', it has been revealed. The controversial operation ran for nearly two weeks last year, when the bureau took control of the Playpen website in an effort to weed out users who would normally be hidden because they accessed such sites through encrypted addresses. Agents have defended the dubious of ethics of a government agency running a child porn site by insisting there was no other way to catch offenders.

Do you have a vested interest in allowing pedophiles to go undisturbed? Why are you on the side of creeps and child molesters? I think you're hiding something.

The difference is that drug taking *can* be a victimless crime, whereas terrorism and childporn always causes harm to an innocent victim.
