I’ve been on IRC for decades, a few years running a file distribution for audiobooks, which sadly meant I ran across some things I’ll never unsee. I’ve never seen anyone actually say “kiddie porn” who was actually looking for or offering it. It’s all “loli” or filename references, and “#yo” stuff. Those chat logs sound ridiculous, but I have to admit that my experience is limited to channels where cp wasn’t welcome. Maybe when they’re on their own they start talking like a special agent? To me, it would be like being in a warez channel full of people saying, “I want pirated material.” That at least I have experience with, and someone saying “Where the copyright violations at?” Rather than “any good ftp’s and xdcc’s?” Would raises red flags.
