    severe mix feelings.

    glad they caught him, but corporations casually snooping through your data and report whatever they want is definitely not an good thing

      Was a gay guy here in Sweden who got assaulted and kidnapped by masked police because some American company had found CSAM on his account while crawling through Yahoo email.

      Only it wasn’t CSAM, the photos depicted the man’s 30 year old twinky boyfriend.

      No restitution. No police were punished for assaulting a suspect proved innocent. The man and his boyfriend both were humiliated.

      I’ve no mixed feelings about it. Spying through private data is entirely unforgivable. There are plenty of pedos out there who get caught and nothing happens anyway. They don’t need to violate innocent people’s privacy to do their job.

      Like if the ends justify the means you can end all suffering in the world by just nuking everything. All problems solved.

      Edit: pesos → pedos

        Oh gods now you have me worried. 20 years ago I was a hundred pounds lighter and just a bag of skin holding a skeleton. There are some photos of me on my Google account that skinny. (also in your medical textbooks but anyways) and I also have photos of me now. We look like completely different people.

      Microsoft has been doing this for years. It was with Onedrive at first but now that they’ve enabled “analytics” in every product that might connect to the internet they can have it all searched.

      Supposedly it is first filtered by algorithms but that shit is still being uploaded somewhere other than your hard drive.

      Unfortunately, the negative effects from companies like Google turning in completely ethical people for doing things that should be completely legal and uncontroversial will do drastically more damage than the positive effects from said companies turning in the poorest of the pedophiles.

          The company is literally building death camps, installing statues of genociders, is run by the RICH pedophiles(who have ZERO interest in seeing pedophiles prosecuted), and is using Palantir and Flock cameras to monitor everything, meanwhile having secret police disappear people and just openly slaughter them.

          The United States Government is well beyond deserving the benefit of the doubt.

            Great do you have a single example of what you’re claiming, lol. Google turning in a perfectly ethical person for doing something that should be legal and uncontroversial.

            You’re moving the goal posts and changing your argument.

                I am so confused. Did you read the article that you posted??? Are you just straight up defending pedophilia and rape?

                The Toronto detective alleges that after the alerts were passed to the RCMP and then Toronto police, she looked at three of the images and found they depicted naked prepubescent girls. The images included an explicit sex act and exposed genitals.

                depicted who I believe to be David Edward-Ooi Poon without a shirt, taking a selfie of himself while sticking out his tongue over an unconscious adult female," the search-warrant application states. The document goes on to describe the woman in the photo as naked below the waist and wearing a dark-coloured eye mask over her eyes. The detective alleges that that photograph and others she examined appeared to be stored in a folder on the iPhone titled “Girls I Drugged And Raped.”

                The images included adult females with breasts and genitals exposed “who appeared to be unconscious,” the ITO says. “The body positioning of the females appeared to be limp and did not significantly change throughout the images taken.” Police allege they found other files on the iPhone that appeared to be “upskirt” images or photographs focusing on the buttocks of females, in folders with names suggesting they were underage girls.

                Detectives laid 41 more charges in December including making and possessing child pornography, sexual assault, voyeurism for a sexual purpose and drugging someone to facilitate sexual assault.

                Either you can’t read, or you are an incredibly disgusting person.

                  Nah I copied the wrong link. There’s one about a Swedish dude, but go ahead. Did you not notice you were reading the same article as the thread is about or did you skip reading it the first time?

                    Lol yes I did notice.

                    “The wrong link”

                    “There’s one about a Swedish dude”

                    The gymnastics you’re going through to avoid actually facts is hilarious.

        my issue is that we have a framework for corporations to scan all your data and inform the state. used to stop CSAM, but it’s a matter of state policy wether said structure will be used to fight discent.
