For Windows users who frequently use the TorBrowser, there's been a pressing concern. Recent versions of the TorBrowser, specifically because of the tor.exe file it contained, were being flagged as potential threats by Windows Defender.
The outrage comes from the fact that the FBI had to literally distribute that kind of content in order to catch people, and it kind of borders on entrapment.
I don’t have any sympathy for these predators. I’m glad they got locked away. I just think the FBI is using unconstitutional means to do so
It has everything to do with it. If someone is accused of being a pedophile, they still have rights to privacy and everything until their crimes are proven in a court of law. If we didn’t have this protection, anyone could accuse anyone else of being a pedophile and just do whatever they want to them. I in no way support any criminal behavior surrounding pedophiles. I was a victim myself as a child. I want them all locked up. But you have to have limits to power like that even if it means letting some guilty people go.
Nobody’s privacy is being infringed by the FBI collecting pedos at a pedo honeypot. If you get on the dark web looking for CSAM you’re a goddamn pedo and no amount of stupid american “free speech” bullshit changes that. The fuck is wrong with you?
How bout THE FUCKING KIDS IN THE MATERIAL? They used that shit without any consent. And how many motherfuckers did they NOT catch while distributing this shit?
Well the whole “Kiddie fiddlers don’t get rights” is where that comes in. See… I hate to say this, but much like Nazis, kiddie fiddlers get all the rights that you and I do. Where their rights end is where ours begin. They aren’t allowed to break the law, they are allowed to exist and espouse whatever vile ideology they want to, as long as The Government isn’t involved in attempting to censor them.
Private individuals and private companies are allowed to express their own “freedom of speech” however they want. This includes deplatforming them in the case of companies, or totally ignoring them all the way to punching them in the mouth for daring to speak such hatred in “civilized society.” I am a bit of a punk though, and will absolutely violently tell fascists to “fuck off” exactly the way that The Dead Kennedy’s, and all four of my grandparents taught me to. My grandparents all served in WWII. Both of my grandfathers killed faschists. Both of my grandmothers tended the wounded by faschists. They all agreed that, “The only good faschist is a dead faschist.”
Punch them out every time you can get away with it. Ensure that they know they aren’t welcome. We’ve forgotten to do that in recent years. This applies to fascists just as much as it does to any form of sexual predator.
The outrage…

That’s not my understanding of “entrapment”. It needs to coerce somebody into something they otherwise would not do.
“Making available” illicit material is not coercive.
If I remember correctly, it was brought up in court but dismissed. So you’re right there.
Is the FBI gonna start giving away cocaine to try and catch dealers too?
Hmm 🤔🤔🤔
Nah fuck that.
Number 1 - the world exists outside the USA and a lot of those fuckers live there.
And Number 2 - kiddie fiddlers don’t get rights and if you can get them through entrapment the its just as good as any other means.
Innocent until proven guilty means nothing to you apparently
That has nothing to do with it though…
