FBI director warns Facebook could become platform of 'child pornographers'
- bediger4000 7y agoThis statement is just hysteria, an attempt at whipping up a Moral Panic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_panic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_panic) in order to generate a rhetorical fog and attack the FBI's enemies. Media need to quit repeating things word-for-word, especially coming from those who are in positions of authority, and those claiming a principled stand. Historically, while not always rubbish, such claims from people in authority tend to reinforce the authority, and nothing more. Such claims coming as a "principled stand" seem to often be used not to get folks to conform to the principles, but just to get media to amplify whatever claim goes along with it.
