So some angry Redditards tried spamming CP on the subreddit, and also tried using misspellings of our usernames to post CP on other subs as well.
I don't really care if it's some commie degenerate posting xir's personal stash or a right-wing acceleration trying to drive us off the platform, if you see any of that shit here, light it up with reports.
I've only seen a couple reports in the past few days, so as a reminder: you've got to defend what's yours, I won't be able to do it for you. If there's some shit your suspicious of, still report it anyway. I'm not going to punish you for being suspicious.
Right? Who the fucking hell looks at child porn to own someone else? Like fuck that, I don't even want to think of the fact it exists!
So there is no way for them to be good people. None. Either they already have that shit and that makes them despicable, sick human shit. Or they specifically looked for it to fuck with someone who disagrees with them, which makes them despicable, sick human shit.
I make no secret that I work in IT. I'm going to have to be a bit sketchy on details on this one but fifteen to twenty years ago at a place I was contracting with, there was an... incident. I was the one who stumbled across it. A directory with hundreds of images, though I only saw one picture - it was all I needed to see. I honestly don't know how the cops went through it - go through that kind of thing as a job - without wanting to just kill everyone and everything. (Yeah, defund the police, sure.)
I can still remember that kid's face, could describe it better than my current next door neighbor. The forced smile, the fear and pain in the eyes. I don't think that will ever leave me.
So, yeah. There's a special place in Hell reserved for them and I hope their ticket there is an express.
Virtual hugs to you, good sir. If you are ever in Hungary you are my guest for a beer/gulyás/cake/whatever.
Anyone who wants to defund the police have something to hide. Every single fucker. The low levels probably just doing drugs or stealing some eyeliner from Target. The higher level... Yeah.
I know a person who was in the child abuse squadron of the police.
When they got video's they had to watch through them multiple times to determine the amount of offences that were committed and mark down details so they could find corroborating evidence. It's been a fair few years since he worked there but he still has nightmares and flashbacks of that stuff and he admitted its affected his relationship with his kids because he sees them as potential victims.
A horrible job and there isn't any support. The people work in that department until they are burnt out and either quit or transfer. People wonder why cops develop that emotionless cold unempathetic exterior, its because if they didn't they wouldn't survive the job. Its the only way to cope, and its also hard to care when someone is crying about their stolen TV when the cop had previously investigated an infant's death from internal damages from a gang rape. Hell, hard to empathize when they have just had to go tell some family that their son or daughter has died in a car crash even.
From chats I've had with those more I. T. literate than myself those investigating may not need to actually look at the material themselves as checks can be made on files against stored databases. So if someone has a copy of a known image the check will detect that and flag it.
Again as this isn't an area I know much about I can only theorise how different media types may require check methods or what it may mean for heavily cropped and/or edited versions of known material.
At the very least the methods, along with general advances in computer technology, should mean fewer actual people will need to bear witness to the materials in question when investigating.
There are however likely conditions, such as the one Anarcro mentions documenting the actual offences in the material, that would then require things to be looked at.
The forced smile thing was also reported in the girlsdoporn trafficking case where several of their victims were made to perform multiple takes until they smiled in an effort to cover up their illegal activities to unsuspecting viewers.
They also had Donny Long slander their victims with his shitty vanity site pornwikileaks in exchange for helping him keep his websites running. After getting exposed in court documents he has since left the internet and presumably went into hiding incase he has a warrant against him, he also sold his hard drives to mindgeek who destroyed them in a video.
