http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/18/health/utah-governor-porn-resolution-health-hazard/I do agree with the bill being passed on child ?);)$5 however putting both in the same bowl is just ridiculous. What happened to the good old 80’s era where there was not so much abundance and the stars were treated much more better.I do however agree that there has to be much more regulations endorsed to protect the people taking part both mentally and physically (read some of their interviews to get an idea,Which I am sure most of you guys do anyway).
Short version:The governor of Utah is going to pass a law where IT technicians have to report child p)rn if they see it on computers, he then goes on to make a resolution that p’rn is a public health hazard.He shouldn’t even be using both of these in the same speech, one is a very serious crime and the other is a well established business.The motives are also different,IMO a person enjoying the child stuff should at least be referred to a mental health professional, just like people who enjoy watching torture and shit like that.But the other is a while different ball game.
Since some cases will clearly be borderline (sometimes the script is written this way as well), clearly, the law must mandate that the IT tech commits some reasonable amount of time to clearly examine the pron on each computer and determine using his best effort whether the actor is 18 or younger. In the interests of accuracy, a set of guidelines and training should also be written on how to differentiate between adult and underage people. An annotated pictorial guide comparing the two would be helpful for this purpose.
This would also gives rise to more complications. What if the IT tech discovers child pron, but in the process, he finds that he feels a sense of enjoyment? Would this make him complicit in the consumption of child pron? Logically, this would require a second IT tech to monitor the first IT tech and make sure he is not swayed by deviant impulses. Fortunately, this is not hard to monitor (for guys).
So my takeaway is that this could be a great job creator in the IT tech industry and could even facilitate a culture of bonding between IT employees.
^The second guy has to be someone who knows about enjoyment and how it can be detected in other peoples bodily reactions. An IT person is not suitable for this vocation as he is foreign to emotions.This could push the demand for other liberal art type degrees.
It’s a federal crime to view child porn, even for a split second accidently. That is the statue. By reporting it, you would be admitting guilt. And this law is enforced regularly, usually in conjunction with more serious crimes.
Could you imagine just innocently clicking on the wrong link and ending up in prison. Apparently it has happened. The FBI monitors the dark net for hash values known to be illegal porn and then knocks on the door of the downloader. If you saw the image after clicking the link, you have committed a crime.
Pornhub releases some great demographic info on its users. Utah is always at the top of the list in viewers per capita. I’d cite it, but I’m not googling that at work.
Edit: Any mention of the “dark net” in this thread is thus far very inaccurate. The FBI has stated many times it can’t hack/trace TOR. When people get busted (like the Dread Pirate Roberts for running The Silk Road) it’s because they did something stupid like signing in to their personal gmail account or Facebook page while using TOR. If you’re smart, it’s essentially impossible to trace.
Tell you what. Go surf porn indiscriminately using limewire. Let us know if you get any unwelcome vistors. Yeah, makes sense that the FBI would disclose exactly how it operates. Or if you prefer to stay out of prison, go sit in on a federal case involving the topic. Command central for monitoring transmission of specific hash values, just like a fingerprint for a file, is in Houston. The agents fly all over the country to testify. Somehow, they are able to find the computer. And then show the suspect was using it at times of transmission.
FBI does not have time and resources to do all this secret high tech monitoring of everyone. Unless you obviously do something wrong or have a very high profile, they are not going to spend a huge amount of time chasing you or developing technology to monitor minor problems. Even if they do find you, the enforcement cost might prevent them from actually doing anything. They are just a government agency, after all.
“Experts” everywhere. Dude, I witnessed it as a member of a jury. Absolutely amazing the resources that were used to put away a 24 year-old that had viewed the contraband. They even got him for distribution because the default setting on limewire allows others to download from your computer. It was obvious the prosecutor wanted a win, and they got it. I do agree it was a waste, but it’s all politics and self promotion. I later found out the defendant even had a clean record previously. He got ten years mandatory.
I agree with you on the child pron case , but for the piracy issues I do know there are law firms out there like( saul goodman kind of laywer ) who prey on people who pirate stuff and later settle their cases with large sums of money.Basically exploiting the criminals ,I know this because a buddy of mine does their IT stuff.
