man I gotta stop visiting TGP porn sites

there is literally no way of knowing if some of the girls are 18 or not... like obviously theres the ones that are like 13-14 on some of those thumbnails and I try to just ignore the fact that those are even there... but seriously when you get the ones that say they are 18 or 19 years old sometimes I wonder. Sigh, this is what I get for not liking fake tits and monster dicks in my porn..

i dunno, it seems like you could never get in trouble for this if you live with anyone else. you could just both deny it when you got in court, and what are they going to do? guess which one of you it was? sentence you both?

"Hohoho, that girl was 17 and 3/4 not 18 you sick son of a bitch!"

Guess for safety's sake we'll all have to look at granny porn from now on.

More like thought crime.

Don't you get it? Very soon they're going to extrapolate our browsing habits and arrest us before we even click the link!

I'm pretty sure this technique isn't PUT UP A WEBSITE AND COLLECT IP ADDRESSES; they could be directly going after suspected pedophiles (IE, sending them a link through AIM). And either way, it's pretty possible that they have the web server set up so that it only registers IPs caught from a link they themselves have set up and not anyone who blunders into it - so that they're only catching people who see a link saying 12 YEAR OLD PUSSY and click it. They could only be setting up these links on pedophile networks even, so that the average net-user wouldn't find them.

There's not enough details in the article to be instantly alarmist.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

Ah well. if it can help reduce the pedo levels of the internet...

Oh come on, these things get blown way out of proportion. The media makes it seem like anyone above the age of 19 is a pedophile if they use the Internet. Like shark attacks and kidnapping, this is just the new cool thing for the news to make everyone afraid.

No one who enjoys not being arrested for everything they do or believe in should be supporting this.

wouldn't it make more sense to go after the people who are putting the porn up? not the guys who are looking at it?

I think they look at CP as some sort of business, so they're attacking the theoretical "demand" so the "supply" has no reason to keep producing.

I'm pretty certain that kiddie fiddlers don't do their fiddling so they can sell it on the internet, though, so this sort of attack doesn't make any sense.

They DO go after the producers, and extremely harshly too, but they go after the clients and consumers as well.

Also a lot of child porn is produced in third world countries anyhow.

That's terrible, what about people who click the links just out of curiosity but aren't pedophiles?

By the way look at this kiddy pr0n I found: http://www.illegalkiddypr0n.ru/members/image/img076.jpg

Play Raimond Ex (if you haven't already)

I'll not TAKE ANYTHING you write like this seriously because it looks dumb

Well, it's actually apparently quite difficult to go after the producers, as they usually keep their face out of the picture or censor themselves. Most of the anti-child abuse activity is aimed at busting large networks of distributors. These are also more likely to lead to valuable information regarding child trafficking and prostitution.

Of course, that doesn't mean there's no reason to go after the consumers as well, but it's difficult to argue we should allow the police to be able to do these things in order to for them to pursue a very inefficient method of combating child porn.

I wonder if something like this will even hold up in court.

God I hope the Patriot Act is destroyed by the next president.

While some consider it entrapment, by federal law they have to state the age in the add itself. If you see a link that says "12 year old hot and naked" the FBI assumes that only people who are serious about seeing it will actually CLICK ON IT. Why the fuck would you be "curious" about seeing kiddy porn if you're not a pedo yourself?

question but LEGALLY are the people who look at the child porn doing anything wrong as they're not actually involved with it's production? why do the feds arrest people with that stuff on their PC?

I'm not sure the PA has anything to do with this stuff.

it could qualify as entrapment though, and if they go to court, it will probably get thrown out!
