So you mean the same information that came out years ago?

So you mean the same information that comes out every time people actually look into these content platforms?

They all have sectors filled with gore, pedo stuff, abuse, violence, ...

And every time, the statement is the same:

"We are committed to ensuring none of these kinds of content are hosted on our platform blah blah blah."

You know, finding out pedo shit happens on Twitter was disgusting, this however I’m not surprised anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I’m pissed but not surprised.

What are the odds that the investigators are conservative Christians.

> OnlyFans is not alone in taking steps to address online safety. The government's long-delayed online safety bill proposes heavy fines for websites failing to protect children.

This news article is promoting the absolutely horrendous clusterfuck that is the "Online Safety"

> The NSPCC said neither the current regulation nor the planned legislation go far enough.

And these idiots want the legislation to be made even worse.

BBC claims x, OF asks for evidence so they can remove the content, BBS refuses. People are acting like this stuff is just out there but why wouldn't you help them so they could remove the content?

All this ever gets brought up as is an excuse to put more restrictions on the Internet in the guise of fighting things like illegal pornographic content.

There have been prior cases, where the person reporting the incident was then charged with possession even though they were doing the right thing by showing authorities

"In addition, the government argued that even if Matthews were a legitimate journalist working on a story, he had no more right under the First Amendment to receive and disseminate illegal images of minors than a reporter would have in buying crack cocaine in pursuit of a story about drugs"

Is the NY Times good enough?

Who brought up conservatives? Like do you just drop some kind of dig at conservative any chance you get in random threads? No one here was talking about conservatives. Why even bring that up? It serves zero purpose and has no value you fucking weirdo. Actually touch grass

I'm sure a fine like that will just turn into the cost of doing business because it would take an incredible amount of quality control to completely scrub a website with millions of pages of content.

I’m pretty sure you have to photograph the front and back of your government ID to even get verified. It doesn’t seem like the ideal place to risk doing illegal activity when your username is watermarked on all your content.

Keeping kids safe is all well and good, but these bills that claim to be about protecting children are usually backdoors to stripping away privacy rights.

Conservative Christian’s have for over a century worked to pass laws and create panics related to sex work that consistently end up up making sex workers unsafe and further exploited

My friend did it and the paper was a bit too bright so they made him take it again. It took him like 3 days to get verified each time because they, OF, don't fuck around with verification.

BBC have complained about it before when the person who signed up stole her older sisters passport and provided that as proof of identity.

There isn’t much more you can do when the 16yo commits identity theft from a person who they look like.

Not adding "cases where reporting child porn caused the reporter to be arrested" to your search history? Lmao flimsiest excuse ever. Just admit you made it up because you didn't think you'd get called out. We all know.

Ok fine. Heres some case law of a NEWSPAPER REPORTER reporting on child pornography ONLINE and was subsequently charged for possession. Go fuck yourself.

"In addition, the government argued that even if Matthews were a legitimate journalist working on a story, he had no more right under the First Amendment to receive and disseminate illegal images of minors than a reporter would have in buying crack cocaine in pursuit of a story about drugs"

haha love the downvote after you got what you asked for

Not really a comparable example. This isn't a guy who spotted child porn on a website and then notified the authorities. This is a guy who was sending out pornographic images of children to other people. He was receiving and distributing.

I imagine it's the distributing part that got him arrested.
