Which brings us to the question of what harm is acceptable to inflict upon one person against his or her will, for the benefit of someone else, or perhaps for many other people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipeholm_experiments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipeholm_experiments
I'm not proposing an answer; I just want to see you all fight about it. :-)
- ikeboy 10y agoThe people using the site would most likely be abusing kids anyway.
- J_Darnley 10y agoOkay, you want to see a fight? Sharing an image of abuse does not inflict more violence against the victim. What's the old line? "What they don't know can't hurt them."

The uncle was caught and convicted. Amy received psychological counseling and the uncle was ordered to pay the cost for her treatment up to that time, a few thousand dollars. By the end of her treatment in 1999, Amy was (as reflected in her therapist’s notes) “back to normal” and engaged in age-appropriate activities such as dance. Sadly, eight years later, Amy’s condition drastically deteriorated when she learned that her child sex abuse images were widely traded on the Internet. The “Misty” series depicting Amy is one of the most widely-circulated sets of sexual abuse images (i.e., child pornography) trafficked in the world. According to her psychologist, the global trafficking of Amy’s child sex abuse images has caused “long lasting and life changing impact[s] on her.” As Amy explained in her own, personal victim impact statement, “Every day of my life I live in constant fear that someone will see my pictures and recognize me and that I will be humiliated all over again.”
- pestaa 10y ago> when she learned that her child sex abuse images were widely traded on the Internet But how? I'm not suggesting she actively looked for CP, but surfing the web casually won't get you anywhere near it.
- DanBC 10y agoHer images were / are very widely distributed. The abuse started when she was about 4. She blanked some of it, but not all of it. Here's her victim impact statement: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/national/20100202-impact-statement.pdf http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/national/20100202-... She knew there were images because she remembers him taken the images. She knows they're on the Internet because of his prosecution. Her case had some important legal stuff, around restitution for victims from people possessing, but not creating, the images: http://www.texaslawyer.com/id=1202443241449?id=1202443241449&hbxlogin=1&slreturn=20160613103545 http://www.texaslawyer.com/id=1202443241449?id=1202443241449...
- wccrawford 10y agoI'm guessing that her worst fear was realized: Someone saw the pictures and recognized her, and told her about them. I can't process the logistics of how that happened without the person getting arrested... Or how it could happen without a pedophile in the mix... But I can't think of any other way for her to find out. Edit: I suppose it's possible that the police found the images, managed to identify her, and felt it was their responsibility to inform her.
