The thing about child pornography, is that it is also illegal to receive in many cases. This means that if you know about it by receiving it, you are usually in a position to be charged.
- matthewmacleod 10y agoYes, that's a good point. Information is not illegal, but it's easy to see that the receipt, distribution or possession of it can be. Im not sure that leads to many logical problems.
- microcolonel 10y agoIt means that it's a very difficult crime to report. The only case where you can report child pornography, is also a case where you can not prove it without putting yourself in legal peril. If you take a picture of somebody looking at child pornography on a monitor, you could be charged with creating it. If you see it on a website, and report it, you could be charged with receiving (and possibly possessing).
