This thread is about Reddit actively trading irrefutable child porn.

Nobody knows the extent other than what the local newspaper printed online as there is a court date waiting so I guess all will be known soon enough.

Plus. with things like that, you can't just get help and become fixed, there is something fundamentally wrong with a person to accumulate materials of that nature.

It's like children who grow up abusing pets/animals and end up moving on to human beings later in life.
Yeah I know you can't cure it but you can at least get them to stop collecting pictures.

'Only has videos and pictures he's found'? What do you mean 'only'?
I qualified it, if he's not giving people money for it i.e. giving them a motivation for either creating or distributing it it's not as bad as doing that. I'm not saying it's not bad because of that, it's just less bad.
 
i thought reddit was meant to be the intelligent one which is more socially responsible. it was 4chan thats no holds barred and hosts deprave content.

i skeptical about this, there are people who want censorship and control o the internet, and theyre using a few bad apples to tar a community used by millions on "clean" people.

Hahaaa, there's limited intelligence to be found in both, other boards on 4chan aren't nearly as bad.
 
Turns out a guy a few mates and I used to work with was arrested this month for having over 80k of CP images and 399 CP videos. This guy seemed like any other normal bloke, liked overclocking, was the first to get a Q6600 and OC it and send us SuperPI screenshots etc.

He faces 23 charges based on this.

It's amazing how people turn out to be something else as if out of nowhere!

And he never heard of encryption? Wow.
 
I'd just want him to get some help.

What kind of help though? I doubt there's any changing his sexual preferences any more so than changing those of a gay or straight person and from the description given he just got charged for having some pics + vids, so apart from resisting your urges, just downloading is as close as it gets to being a responsible pedo, no?

I have wondered why people end up being caught with millions of images and videos, but I guess it's because it's probably so hard to come by that they decide to stock up...

not quite...
 
In my secondary school there was a guy called Mr Tyler (teacher) who allegedly molested a pupil. He was a maths teacher and the pupil was one of the star pupils who used to go early for morning maths classes and stay after for homework classes (this was pretty normal because the schools maths department was very good although everything else was crap).

The story goes that one day he put his hand on the star pupil, and the pupil ran out and told the headteacher.

We never saw the teachewr again, no mention of it was made in the media. The only way we know it happened was that there was a massive rumour going around in school, we asked the other teachers was it true, but they would just refuse to talk about it. And tell us off for brining it up. Which was an odd reaction if it wasn't true..
 
Better shut down the internet. Just to be sure. :p

However, it's good that Reddit are taking action against this. Everything possible should be done in order to stop anything related to child porn (within reason of course, removal of the internet is a definite no-go) and it seems slightly alarming that they didn't seem to really care about it until now.

So if a girl on Facebook posts a picture of herself in a provocative pose, it's child porn? When is the legal definition of 'child porn' invoked - at creation/hosting, or when someone faps to it?
 
Am I missing something or, is it not better that people into child pornography feel safe and post stuff in a stupid and public place where they can be watched and caught rather than "going underground" and posting stuff on unknown forums privately and quietly?

IE they post constantly on this site, and they feel safe, and unknown to them the police are watching carefully putting together evidence, links of where uploads came from links of who is involved and pick them up one by one.

Sometimes its better to have the pervs out in the open rather than all looking over their shoulder and hiding what they do.

When people feel safe, they get stupid(er), make mistakes and make far far less effort to hide who/what they are.

The problem with campaigns against this kind of thing is, people can't think logically and realise how much better it is for people to be out in the public and get caught. People decide they can't possibly keep their mouths shut, they HAVE to tell the internet the story gets out and the people who post............ stop posting, child porn DOES NOT STOP. You just help these people realise they have to hide, nothing more or less.

You see child porn, or any area involved in child porn, YOU TELL THE POLICE, QUIETLY, so they can catch moronic and disgusting peado's rather than send them into hiding.


But no, people want their outrage to be public, being publically outraged obviously does far more good than actually catching peado's.

One of the major problems with the world, its far easier to shout really loudly about something you don't like, then actually do something about something you don't like.

SA members did something about it, and forced Reddit to change.

The problem with allowing open spaces for childporn is that it then creates incentive to make more, so it's all well and good catching them, it's just a lot of them would then be caught after they had done some serious damage.

Also that would mean relying on a competent uncorrupted Police force, of which one doesnt really exist.

This has caused a few fights between my logical and moral sides.

I believe a person has no choice in what they find sexually attractive, so being gay, or in to fetish, or whatever, is not really something a person can control.

What they can control is whether or not they act on these urges, and some obviously fail here.

Now the main difference between CP and other sexual preferences is the whole consent thing. Being gay with a consenting partner of legal age is fine, just like getting all gimped up and whipped by a consenting partner is.

So the people creating the CP are very much in the wrong, and it's a horrible thing, but if a person cannot help being turned on by underage pics, surely them having a fap to clothed images where no children are actually harmed is better than them going out and getting their jollies in the real world? You can't "cure" sexual preference, so it's really the instance with the least negative impact.
 
A lot of people here are apparently confusing child pornography (which was never allowed on Reddit) and pictures of 17 year old girls in bikinis, which were allowed until recently.
