    It’s called a honeypot. They even ran CP servers in the past (after taking them over from the actual admins, in order to unmask the users).

          I really don’t think CSAM is a fake crime, but we can’t all be libertarians.

            What does this have to do with libertarianism?

            I’m a libertarian, and I think honeypots are a fantastic idea! It makes enforcement of the law compatible with individual privacy, since the only data the agency would get is from people who willingly offer it. I may disagree with you on the definition of CSAM (e.g. pictures of actual kids vs AI-gen and human drawn images), but I absolutely think honeypots are the right way for police to enforce the law.

            You’ll have to open your eyes, how can you even believe this overused malarkey. This is just a blunt political assassination instrument. We invented it to kill the church, and it was funny. Fuck the church. But you’ve lost the plot if you think 1% of 1% of these supposed kids even exist. It’s largely a fabrication to eliminate inconvenient persons and send them to the slave pits. It’s a well oiled, if overused kompromat machine to keep the elites in check.

            Can we please just nuke Russia ASAP so I can get the MAD ending I was promised to this circus while growing up.
