The problem is there is no set standard on how much sacrifice is needed and to what level cp needs to be lowered to since you'll never get rid of it all. So the authorities have a blank check to ratchet things as far as they want and they are in the process of doing so. TBH I'm skeptical of the 'simply looking at the buttock of a 17.9 year old sends a psychic arrow that magically travels to the victim and irreparably damages them' theory that underlies much of our current approach, how much evidence do we have of this really? If this is true then the authorities which are by far the largest holders and processors of child abuse imagery are damaging children perhaps far more than if they didn't exist. After all you have an image that might be circulated among a few pervs in their basements privately for a couple years then is lost forever but instead is uploaded permanently to hundreds of databases where it is processed and pored over by countless algorithms and computer scientists, and law enforcement agents, and technicians for the foreseeable future. IMO it is preferably to treat this like everybody says we should treat drugs and concentrate resources to take out the producers rather than dilute it all and violate everybodies rights with a mass surveillance state.

is the go to every time they want to do something really bad. Its more effective then even the terrorism excuse.

lol how is abortion being 'outlawed 100%'? also the sole example the article mentions is a late term abortion most would want illegal anyways. pretty weak clickbait slashdot.

KF is just like any other tabloid site or celebrity gossip site. They only discuss people who put themselves out in public. Why not ban twitter, since they do 10000x more of the same thing? Why not ban this place? There is zero evidence he was 'harassed'. There is zero evidence he's even dead so far.

Someone had to torture Trump into the conversation. He may no longer be president of the us anymore but he is still president of your mind.

Well its dumb to have your most used tool on the opposite side of most people's dominant hand. So I guess this is progress.

They can hack into every computer on the planet yet their HR can't screen out an obviously unstable person whose very name is a huge red flag?

This comment section would be filled with 100s of personal attacks and detailed theories about how he and his cronies were personally and intentionally responsible for some nefarious reason. But now that its sleepy Biden. He's not responsible and its just vague complaints about how the system work and calm less fingerpointy analysis.

'Discovering' something means that you were the one that put in or at least got the ball rolling to integrate it with the databanks of our current society. It doesn't mean necessarily you are literally the first one to find it. Thats really what matters. Its infeasible to worry about the Ancient Babylonian who invented calculus or the ancient Greek who invented the automobile if we don't know they did. And if their invention left no legacy or impact it really isn't important beyond a historical curiosity anyway. Heck you want to go back far enough. Maybe nobody on Earth really 'discovered' the concepts they're credited for since the aliens from the long dead civilization of Gazapazorp 5 developed an advanced society 5 billion years ago long before any human was born. But wait. Shouldn't we also take into account civilizations possibly before the big bang? Wow we're going to be sorting through this for awhile.

if you look hard enough. The more things of significance someone has done, especially in the past. The more likely they have controversy to go along with it. Its almost inevitable We've erased colonizers, then leaders with some controversy.(almost any significant leader if you look hard enough and of course only if they are white male) Now we are on to dorks who draw pictures. Eventually they'll remove anyone of consequence. The goal of course isn't against specific people but to replace an entire history/culture with a new one.

they just went out of their way to pile on the bandwagon to cancel stallman. So you know...whats good for the goose and all that. Hopefully they'll learn to be apolitical.

While i can understand cracking down on piracy, its bananas that a company can sit on an IP for over a century and let it rot except to sue the pants off any one who tries to make it useful to society again. A lot of Nintendo stuff, especially tons of unused and forgotten ips should rightfully be public domain already.

and nobody cared in all of history until now when they've made it into big issue where we have to have a cow over it and waste tons of attention that could be infinitely better spent elsewhere. Truly if humanity had no problems it would make its own.
