    CP laws (in the US and probably other places) fall under a doctrine called strict liability, which basically means that you’re guilty regardless of intent or even knowledge of an offense.

    It’s fucked.

      There isn’t a crime worse than hurting children. Does that mean we should allow law enforcement infinity leeway to punish these crimes and persue the offenders? I hate to ever give law enforcement any leeway as abuse is so common, but if someone is hurting children I don’t care how you stop it.

      Is hosting a tor exit nods with the knowledge that doing so might help pedophiles hurting children? That feels like too many layers to me. Too esoteric.

        Is this satire? Because that’s exactly the excuse government has been giving for hundreds of years, to take your freedoms away.

        It’s never about the children. The Catholic church operating with near total immunity, after all these millennia of abuse, is proof of that.

          You’re right and I agree completely. My ACAB hat slips when they bring up kinds. Which is, of course, their intent.
