Title: Re: [2014-03-04] VICE - Bitcoin Is Being Used to Buy Child Porn, Report Says Post by: fancy_pants on March 04, 2014, 11:35:48 PM Isn't the bitcoin foundation supposed to now put out press releases condeming child porn? I have no say in the matter since I never donated. Nevertheless, as a bitcoin user I am opposed to child porn.

Nice job article *Facepalm* But considering this is the UK who even has the goal of an op in porn ban because we need to think of the children aka a load of bollocks This is not to be unexpected http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/11/23/britain-s-idiotic-opt-in-porn-ban.html Also it extended beyond porn http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/202876/uks-porn-ban-censors-way-more-than-just-porn/ Or this one http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/03/david-cameron-internet-porn-filter-censorship-creep I guess I feel like trolling David Cameron a bit Even his loyal secretary violated the law guess his policy advice to allow porn in general went unheeded (Man this would be a deadly type of political blackmail) Follow me or I'll arrest you on porn violation charges because I don't like your opinion http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron/10675601/David-Cameron-profoundly-shocked-after-Patrick-Rock-arrested-for-child-pornography-offences.html Title: Re: [2014-03-04] VICE - Bitcoin Is Being Used to Buy Child Porn, Report Says Post by: Buffer Overflow on March 05, 2014, 08:46:39 AM I guess bitcoin isn't dying as predicted by the media. How embarrassing for them.
Still, they can play the old child porn card I suppose.

Yah seriously, if there's one thing I'd expect a bitcoin trade group -- such as The bitoin foundtion -- to do, it would dealing with PR stuff like this. The fact that The bitcoin foundation continually balks at opportunities like this is definitely one of the top three reasons I don't give them money.

I don't think it will affect the public discourse since child pornography is already frequently mentioned alongside money laundering and financing terrorism.

They did a fantastic video miniseries on various places you want to see but not physically visit, though, which I recommend to everyone. I'm now starting to doubt whether there was any factual accuracy and even wondering if they went to places they claimed, but it's still entertaining. |
