CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IN BITCOIN

[tomahawk9]

By the same logic, there should be a ban on the internet since it provides an effective way to find CP. Honestly, illicit activies (child pornography, drugs, money laundering, etc) have been around on the internet since forever,so the ban on bitcoin will not help stop these kind of activities, assholes will always find a way to distribute pornography.

All in all, yet another article trying to attack and discredit Bitcoin, kinda funny how it was released right after the Bitcoin price began to recover. Seems like a new round of a FUD campaign has started.

why even reply to such a retarded posts

Believe it or not, there are people who read these kind of articles and actually believe whatever nonsense the media says. People should reply to these kind FUD threads so that newcomers can read the discussion so they won't panic after reading the headline "bitcoin illegal almost everywhere".

[weav]

This is a ridiculous and stupid statement , which was used already years ago against bitcoin. Governments don't see it that way because they see banning bitcoin won't stop the illegal activity. If it is not bitcoin there will be something else.

Got that right. Providing guidance is a good way of a respectable senior.

The point is not to just look at Blockchain with a very bad thing because we can not judge just from one point of view, crime in all aspects must exist not only in blockchain and media and FUD like this should not be digested because that is just a statement issued by the media.

Then what does this word mean with the title of the artike above
has revealed this vast trove of data is irrevocably tainted with unremovable links to illegal child pornography, which are inevitably distributed among and by all users of the currency.
It is clear that it can not be inserted any content in it if they know, is it really we can believe it?

[mindkontrolultra]

   how do you go about even banning bitcoin?  I reckon it will go about as well as banning torrents or weed, and the black market premium does wonders for your portfolio value.     

[dollarneed]

There's no difference between bitcoin and other currencies, people use the dollar, yuan, euro also for bad things. I just don't get it why do people still assume that bitcoin is a criminal tool in fact bitcoin is same as another currency. People who used bitcoin is a criminal not the bitcoin itself. Bitcoin and the blockchain can be used or implemented in a good thing i think it depends on who uses it.

[tweetbit]

The title is much more of a statement rather than a question. Child pornography in bitcoin and in mostly fiat is the right tittle to be exact. This article is true, but rather been use for black propaganda against crypto. It only show how desperate they were. Fiat for all we know have been used by this activity for decades and century, bitcoin is just new and it is so absurd to blame it.

Gday all

I don't think everyone gets the point -

This is NOT about people using BTC for bad things like child porn.

It is about bad data being stored ON THE BLOCKCHAIN itself, including :

• links to child-porn
• copies of PDF files
• an image of a partially nude young woman

Stored ON the blockchain itself.

Here is the recent scholarly paper which gives the details :
A Quantitative Analysis of the Impact of
Arbitrary Blockchain Content on Bitcoin

This is remarkable and it is not at all a pleasant news to hear when it comes to illegal contents being saved in the blockchain, but who are these analysts and what proof are they presenting to substantiate these claims,they are just a few news sites that published this news but there are no proof on what block they found these contents and so on,if it is true,it is really unfortunate .

[papashark]

They can simply down the link to website.  Besides its very complicated to see.

Bitcoin could become illegal in all countries that bans child pornography after discovering this: https://www.sciencealert.com/bitcoin-illegal-almost-everywhere-after-shocking-blockchain-discovery-child-pornography

What can you say about it?

[Kapyong]

Gday all,

The is remarkable and it is not at all a pleasant news to hear when it comes to illegal contents being saved in the blockchain, but who are these analysts

The writers of the recent paper are :
Roman Matzutt, Jens Hiller, Martin Henze, Jan Henrik Ziegeldorf, Dirk Mullmann, Oliver Hohlfeld, and Klaus Wehrle.

and what proof are they presenting to substantiate these claims,they are just a few news sites that published this news but there are no proof on what block they found these contents and so on,if it is true,it is really unfortunate .

The evidence is found in this paper :
A Quantitative Analysis of the Impact of
Arbitrary Blockchain Content on Bitcoin

Are any posters here actually going to read the facts there-in ?

If this really the root of child pornography i think bitcoin should be banned but anything can happen even bitcoin did not exist yet because any currency can be used also in any illegal work so its the government responsibility to stop any criminal and illegal activity.

[MakeMoneyBtc]

Bitcoin is just a tool for those illegal activities like pornography,drugs,guns or money laundering but it is not the cause of that activity. It is not like those activities were created after bitcoin was created just because with bitcoin is easier to make illegal activities. People do illegal things since laws were created and they are going to continue like this forever because even if you catch all bad guys new ones are going to appear.

[npredtorch]

It isn't new a thing, this has been around since bitcoin came to fame as a new payment system.
Did it stop bitcoin? No. Will these people stop from doing child pornography if there's no bitcoin? That's a big NO.

Is this a legit report? Is there really a child pornography with the use of btc?
Yes, I've been hearing it even with our local tv news. Most of them used their own child to receive crypto payments in exchange for virtual sex.

Bitcoin is just a medium, not a source. If they ban it, there is an alternative medium to continue with this illegal acts.

They always look for the faults and weaknesses of crypto to destroy the trust of Bitcoin holders.
sort of fud and they keep doing it. Anything can be used as a crime tool, it is not fair to discuss this to make noise and panic.

I really agree on your statement. We could change the main version of crypto payments by email to email or change the domain address so they won't track us easily.

Yes that is true. It is not a new thing. Bitcoin creation is meant to make freedom in money transaction. Including anonymity for everyone with no limitation such as age, the amount of money, and the amount of transaction that you make. You can do transaction with Bitcoin as much as you want with huge amount of money. Bitcoin can be use to do drug transaction and human trafficking. That is cruel and dark of course, but that is the truth of Bitcoin. The development of technology will affect both sides between good and evil. There are always positive and negative in everything especially in the development of technology. So we need to be wise to use it.

What can you say about it?

Well, Bitcoin is a currency that it can be use to both legal and illegal activities such as child pornograph. If the paper money like dollar in which a fiat currency can be use in any kind of payments for both legal and illegal then same with Bitcoin currency too. Same currencies but just different platform of payment but the good thing is we could regulate Bitcoin to avoid being used to such this illegal activity.

[Nilda]

Governments are not that stupid. Well, some are, but banning bitcoins because of some sick individuals? I don’t think so. That’s where the anti-cybercrime and anti-child pornography units  come in.

[Enjorlas]

This is a very stupid shortcut, is dollar illegal because some people use it to buy child porn ? No, so bit coin will not
