- JeremyBanks 6y agoHave you seen the news about the child predator congressman facing imminent indictment?
- inetknght 6y ago"Imminent indictment" isn't an indictment. It's just a tabloid headline.
- JeremyBanks 6y agoIf there were only one source, I'd agree with you. But we've had an avalanche of distinct sources coming forward on this story. It seems highly likely that charges are coming very soon. If you watch Fox, you might have missed it, since he was a recurring contributor to their network (fitting, given how many sexual predators they've employed) and they've been trying to downplay it. But feel free to bury your hand in the sand.
- akudha 6y agoHave you seen the news about a certain member of a royal family facing no consequences whatsoever for his similar activities?
- fallingknife 6y agoFucked a 17 year old prostitute is bad, but it's not a "child predator" thing.
- emayljames 6y agoAre you not a child until 18 in the us. If so, then it is not prostituting, it is molestation.
- tzs 6y agoIt depends on where you are in the US. The age of consent is 18 in Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. It is 17 in Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, New York, and Texas. It is 16 in the other 33 states and in the District of Columbia.

- edf13 6y agoThere should be no upper level you start caring about child protection - every level counts, whether it is a hosting company or others high up
- vimax 6y agoWhen did I say I didn't care about protecting children? I said I didn't care about a hosting company throwing DMCA complaints in the trash, and I refuse to give into any bullying that says supporting free speech is the same thing as hurting children.
- edf13 6y agoWhen? Here > I might care more once laws start protecting children from those in power more than used by those in power as a ploy to dismantle privacy from ordinary people. In response to a thread comment regarding to the said hosting provider making it purposely difficult to report such matters...
- anigbrowl 6y agoDARVO. You did not say you didn't care about DMCA complaints, you responded to a point about 'a web form for reporting gruesome images.' Nobody bullied you.
- roenxi 6y agoThe link between the production of child porn and child protection is crystal clear. The link between hosting child porn and child protection is much more subject to argument. I'd suggest it is banned because enough people suspect the link to be there, not because of any certainty. It is unfortunately common for terrible ideas to be shepherded in under the pretence of thinking about the children. There needs to be debate about costs and benefits of this stuff beyond the crystal clear parts. It isn't reasonable to just assume someone doesn't care about protecting children just because they're willing to host anything. Although in this case they are being rather disrespectful to the people who use the form and that doesn't sit well with me.
- Thorrez 6y ago>used by those in power as a ploy to dismantle privacy from ordinary people. Is there anything in the article indicating that child porn policies are being used to reduce ordinary people's privacy? From the article it sounds like they just want the child porn taken down, not any details about anyone.
