An estimated 600 individuals accessed graphic images on a private bulletin board called Dreamboard, leading to federal charges against 72 people in a significant child pornography operation. Over 100 terabytes of child pornography were exchanged, with numerous children identified and rescued by law enforcement across multiple countries. The forum's rules explicitly encouraged the sharing of illegal content, raising questions about how such a network could operate undetected for so long. Discussions highlighted the challenges law enforcement faces in tracking these offenders, particularly due to the use of secure networks and international legal complexities. The conversation underscored the urgent need for more effective measures to combat child exploitation online.

As much as I hate child porn, I don't believe censoring it would be the least bit effective. In fact, I doubt it's even possible to completely filter out child porn and it may only serve to make it more difficult to find people who are distributing material. Worse, any kind of censoring scheme is bound to be ultimately used to block websites for purely political reasons.

I don't think you can give an inch on this subject.

the information age and ...

Has anyone read the Kinsey reports ?

I don't understand the shock about this... this is almost 'normal'.
( Please consider in my reply .. ..I do not condone ANY kind of forced sex .. )
really, this kind of stuff is thousands of years old.

We need more 'study' and open honesty about SEX.


This is emotional ... not science


as example ...

Like ...why Turkey? ... and not... say ... Canada?

Alfi,
I was severely abused as a child, emotionally but not sexually. There was nothing concentual about what I experienced. There is nothing concentual about sexual contact of any kind between an adult and a child. All forms of child abuse are a sick objectification of the child as a thing that you can do whatever you want with. Sick people need therapy and exclusion from society until, if ever, they are cured. I'm not against their extermination, as a cost cutting measure. Yes I objectify abusers.

I await your inevitable responce that I must necessarily be sick. (my responce is that I only get one vote- the act (extermination)would be a majority decision.)

I'm so very sorry to hear about your abuse. My mother was physically and mentally abused by relatives and friends of her parents that she was dumped on before she was sent to a convent of vicious nuns that would scrub her throat with turpentine until her skin peeled off. The other physical and mental abuse is too bad to post here. She did get rescued by her grandmother, eventually, and she turned out to be a very loving, caring person.

The reason child abuse is so widespread is that the children can't fight back. The abusers are cowards as well as criminals.

Me too neither.

It's not like the pedophilia industry was invented with the birth of the internet. Far from it.

Yes, I realize this, and reading your response I thought "am I advocating "out of sight, out of mind""? Had a think, and I am not advocating that, or that censorship will cure the problem, just that access should not be made so easy.

The situation is already at this point, and minimising the ease of availability would be an improvement.

If politicians wanted to block websites, they could do it by other means if this was not in place.

Agreed.

The thing about emotional abuse, unlike say, sexual abuse, is that it can be hard to name, hard to pin down to a specific act, and can be more damaging. Not nice, and not easy to live with. Stay well.

This is utterly shameful to see how far society goes with the benign of technology.
