FBI ran website sharing thousands of child porn images

[Reforged]

It was a pragmatic move to trap and catch monsters.
The ends justify the means.

No it fucking doesn't.

Theres no telling how many freaks who were going to put their dicks in small children are now in prison because they got caught in traps like this one.
So yes, it does. Sorry it makes you uncomfortable.

What also makes me uncomfortable is the fact that the FBI compromised the TorMail accounts of innocent people in relation this. Fuck the FBI. Operation DarkNet had more success in taking down pedos than the FBI have.

If thats what bothers you then maybe you should of made the poll a question of whether its ethical to compromise a citizens privacy in order to obtain evidence rather than "Are the FBI pedo cunts". 
But you didn't. Did you.

But then 137 arrests are a lot of results, and it's an Internet crime, there's no way of knowing if the other offenders were in America.

.00014% is a good result? I guess you and I have differing standards.

Well, the results are being shared with Interpol. If your rationale is apt, where are the international arrests? None were mentioned in the article one way or the other.

Well exactly, you don't know one way or the other about the other arrests or the percentage of the overall users of the website that were in America so the percentage you established as a success rate is void.

Success in terms of an Internet crime would be to inform Interpol of the offenders abroad and to make a substantial amount of arrests within America, over a hundred people arrested is better than just closing the website down and having no arrests.

No, I evidently didn't. Well done for spotting that.

I've spent more than an hour each week viewing adult women in porn for at least an hour each week for the past three decades, but still I haven't once put my dick in the sort of chick who (would be expected to) makes porn videos. This is because sometimes fantasy is best relegated to the world of fantasy, and it more than stands to reason that many who get off to images of children do the same in practice, and don't pay to support the industry which exploits real children. Having the disease doesn't make you a criminal.

You'll need to demonstrate that your comparison is apt. Simply shutting down the website doesn't necessarily preclude arrests.

Additionally, the absence of any reporting on international arrests in that article implies that there are few if any to report.

No, it makes you dangerous.
If an individual is willing to look up pictures of that nature knowing the "subject" is an unwilling victim of the most severe kinds of abuse imaginable then that is a dangerous individual who has made a conscious choice. 
They haven't recognized a problem and chosen to get treated, they've done the opposite. They've indulged it, sought it out.

How far down does that rabbit hole go? Once you've taken the first leap how easy is it to get back out? Whats at the bottom of it?
These are questions these people need to ignore everytime they do what they do. Maybe some are harmless but alot are heading toward a destination the same way anyone gets anywhere. One step at a time.
So yes. They need to be sought out, they need to be stopped, they need to be treated.

Thanks. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
I just kept my eye out for a high horse.

The FBI are cunts, and the pedos are cunts.
