What if I made a web server that returns a file that has the same content as the base64 encoded requested name? For example Echo.com/SGVsbG8.txt would return a utf8 text file with the content “hello”. If a smart ass sent a certain link to law enforcement it would serve illegal content.
- vokep 7y agoI think legally its still simple, the base64 encoding is still illegal content. Just because it's not easily recognizable as so doesn't change what it is. As long as it's easy enough for law enforcement to prove the string when decoded is illegal content, then the act of sending the string is the crime. Law enforcement being in possession of it would just be evidence like usual.
