Attorney general: “technological advances” allow criminals to “avoid detection.”
- adamnemecek 12y agoIt's entertaining how they always say that this is to help with finding child molesters.
- anigbrowl 12y agoI don't find it so; that's a small but genuinely horrific social problem where law enforcement is quite justifiable. Some people see the state as a discrete actor engaged in a zero-sum game with individual libertarians, but it can equally be viewed as the delegated agency in which a supermajority have voluntarily pooled a portion of their individual sovereignty in order to procure those safeties which are a practical precursor to liberty. The production and distribution of child pornography is such a drastic abrogration of the subjects' liberties that we should be very honest about the cost of facilitating it even when that procures a substantial social benefit.
