CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IN BITCOIN

[hermanjones18]

Child porno is not the creation of Bitcoin or any other Crypto. It is unexpected, but it has been there from long before the Crypto idea. And not that people who are doing these kinds of heinous job won’t do it if Crypto stops forever. How you use is always the issue, not what you use to do any crime.

This is very alarming news. However,for me to those people who's having an illegal business like this can use any currency just to get what they want which is money. It depends to the person on how will they use the money/currency. So its not btc's fault or any cyrptos. Even cyrptos exist or not,crime like this is still there.

agree, any people or criminal can use any currency  not just bitcoin and crypto. infact most of them do oftenly use usd and fiat money because that may seem easy for them to handle in order to initiate a faster transaction for  them and to thier clients. however , bitcoin is lately been acepted on most porn sites and sex cams aside from credit cards and i guess this is much easier for them use rather than providing a card that exposes their true identity.

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?

I am interested first I read the link you provide, basically this news is deliberate to derive the image of crypto and bitcoin especially blockchain. I think they do not understand, yes that's what I deserve to say to them.
in essence, if we speak the context of pornography. in the world of the Internet, without bitcoin and blockchain sex stories sex image even pornography indrustry very much at this time. so what else should we distinguish? basically environment, morals and faith is needed for someone not trapped. yes especially in Asia. so back again to the user, how he uses as wisely as possible.

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

They will never understand that the usual currency dollar, EU and name other currencies from different countries are also used for different type of human trafficking such as child pornography. Whoever behind this article as this isn't the only one that we've seen so far. There other articles that came out that is also the same with what the attack to bitcoin through articles and different FUDs that are making others uncertain about bitcoin, these news are false.

[passioncrypto]

I am not sure whether it a real article or fake. Bitcoin itself is not a problem; rather using it wrong way is problem. Crime is an existing matter that is happening before bitcoin entered.

Well, that certain crime already existing even without bitcoin, sad to hear about that there are people who will change and give up their dignity for that certain matter.

How strange -

Most of the posters here have NO IDEA what this story is about.

No poster here seems to be aware of the scholarly paper which brought this up, which I cited twice.

This is NOT ABOUT BTC being used for child porn.

It IS about bad data being stored ON THE BLOCKCHAIN.

Is anyone paying attention ?

Wrong.
Have you read that scholarly paper about bad data ON THE BLOCKCHAIN ?

Oh shit is there anything hardship left to the path of btc that even this got struck behind us? Oh God

[Washball]

This is just another attack on bitcoin. Although this might be true, that there are links enclosed in the blockchain, that is no reason to ban bitcoin. It's almost impossible to find these links, even if you wanted to. Authorities are aware of that and it's likely they will not use this as an excuse to ban bitcoin. Spreading this FUD, that's what harmful to bitcoin.

[salamyman]

And there goes all anonymity on the internet when using bitcoin. I'm not sad those buying child pornography got caught but bitcoin was supposed to be anonymous... Well, not anymore.

What can you say about it?

By following this logic so they shall also ban the dollar, euro, pound sterling and so on... But wait, even if it happens then what? They will use another means of payment simple as that. So to continue their trip with acid, silver, gold, copper, the diamond should be banned too.

But wait, when money didn't exist people were trading (I give you tomatoes in exchange of sugar, then the sugar is exchanged for a fish and so on) Going deep into this, everything should be banned. I hope in the future we will still be allowed to breathe

Probably in the future the air we breathe will be regulated... Lol
If this pornography thing is real then it's a serious issue and not be treated lightly.

Individuals will dependably figure out how to get youngster explicit entertainment. They are distorted people who will do anything and utilize anything to satisfy their desires and it's not only curious to bitcoin alone.

Is the news verified? Or one of the many fake news about bitcoin?

Didn't you read the paper ?

Has anyone here read it to check the facts ?
It appears not.

The "report" that may be fake.. claims that
IF you know where to look (in a 150 GB blockchain  lol  good fucking luck!)
IF you know how to reconstruct...
It is NOTHING more than a link to a website, with child abuse... it says.
It is not child porn inside bitcoin.

It is a CLAIM of a LINK, that nobody can find.
If that was real, that link would be reported, and the server taken down by authorities.

So fuck off with this fake shit

[Kapyong]

The "report" that may be fake.. claims that

You didn't read the report, did you ?
You have no idea what it said, do you ?

IF you know where to look (in a 150 GB blockchain  lol  good fucking luck!)

The authors of the report found the data.
Do you think no-one else can ?

IF you know how to reconstruct...

The method of reconstruction is well known.
Even if you can't understand it.

It is NOTHING more than a link to a website, with child abuse... it says.
It is not child porn inside bitcoin.

A link ?
Wrong - there are MANY links, over a thousand IIRC.

More wrong - go read it again.
There is an IMAGE stored ON THE BLOCKCHAIN.
Is that concept too difficult for you to understand ?

It is a CLAIM of a LINK, that nobody can find.
If that was real, that link would be reported, and the server taken down by authorities.

Pardon ?
Do you actually believe that 'the authorities' (WHICH authorities?) can just take down any server with child porn on it ?

If you believe that - why do you think 'the authorities' have not take down all servers with child porn on them ?

Do you have any idea how the internet works ?

In short -
you didn't read the report,
you don't know the facts,
you don't know what you are talking about.

Do you think a lot of angry swearing over-rides your ignorance of the facts ?

As a miner, I am not shutting one piece of hardware down over this. INTENT, that is the key word on this matter and the law better catch it up to the modern movement going on here. Figure a way out to find the source of this disgusting misuse of our blockchain but don't cop out and run amuk trying to lock every miner, node owner and so on for actions they did not create in the first place. This is getting quite frustrating, they have laws for the tax man at all of us with such confusion I am sure its all written to trip people up and now this attempt to criminalize even more on honest citizens just trying to take some financial charge of their lives. Why does it seem to me this stems from sources against crypto, feels so much like planted evidence for some reason to me. Maybe I am just a conspiracy nut. lol Issue here is two things, child abuse is an atrocity and needs to be stamped out but calling people enablers of that for running some machines to keep the flow of digital assets moving around is seriously pushing some legal limits. Second issue here, why is it they are wasting time on the innocent bystanders in this situation and not investigating deeper? I see in this they say its difficult, well doing what is right is never easy so maybe they need to get to work to arrest the idiots who done this in the first place. Hope its not another Senator or Hollywood mogul lol...probably was

That's not good many teenagers and even school goers are on btcs what would be the impact ob them after seeing this? Developer should have noticed
