CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IN BITCOIN

[SocratesCO]

The technology itself is not sinful, and the guilty ones are those who use it.
So I don't think there is a direct link between the bad guys and the bad guys on the blockchain ledger, which doesn't mean that bitcoin is bad.

agreed with you mate, thumbs UP

[stigmacryptonight]

If true, of course, that would be bad news, especially those who always use blockchain. Hopefully, all can be used properly, so the use of blockchain and crypto gets recognition everywhere. Keep up the spirits, we know, many are making bad news about blockchain and Bitcoin

Agree,we cant blame the advancement  of technology  just because of the rampant spreading of child pornography. Actually  the technology cant be blame because  of how people  abuse  it . Child pornography  are leaded by those persons who are craving for easier money and less hassle they use innocent  children's to be their  tools to earn.I am very sad that because  of technology they  able to operate,why are many dont have conscience and do this sinful things.In other hand they say some uses bitcoin in children pornography.They don't  have  evidence  that  bitcoin is being  used,and I cant also say that they  are right  because   the existence  of abuse is already  present  before bitcoin  was born.If bitcoins  was used to do sinful  things this will be awful  and inconsiderate.

Child pornography or any pornographic site should not be allowed to use bitcoin. This is when regulation must come in. Most people use  bitcoin to make even a small profit so they can have extra income. It should not be used for illegal activities such as pornography. Because of thede illegal acivities, we are bound to regulations that must've not been without these.

Child pornography, drugs, kilings, other crimes and perversions...There`s a Darknet website as some of you may know where all of it is permitted and they use bitcoins. But I think that there`s too many hype about it. Such crimes have existed for a very long time and now with the rise of digital technologies they became more accessible. And criminals use the modern currencies to hide their financial traces. But one should blame people who do it but not bitcoin, that is just an alternative payment system. Who knows what kind of currencies will be invented tomorrow and will we blame it again? As one of users wrote - blaming bitcoins for crimes is like blaming doctor for using a knife!

It is fake news. There is no child pornography embedded in Bitcoin blockchain. That's not how Bitcoin works. You can't store images on Bitcoin blockchain, however, you can store almost as much data as single SMS can transport in one transaction. So you can store links to the websites, but you won't see them by normal. Not only person that inserted these dirty files would have serious legal problems, but it harms Bitcoin giving it bad reputation and it will scare away people from it. There is enough CP hidden deeply under the ground. And I don't condone and I'm against CP.

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?

Well this is a false logic. Child pornography is being done even with the use of credit cards, debit cards or real time money transactions. Thus to say that banning bitcoin because it was used in child pornography is just like saying they will ban their own fiat currency because it was used in child pornography. So instead of finding fault in the currency they must strengthen the task force against this kind of illicit activity.

It turns out a lot of effort to drop bitcoin, even such news is used to defame bitcoin.
hopefully spreading the false news got a proper reply and soon realized his mistake

[xvids]

Then Bitcoin has to be illegal from the start since it has been used to buy some illegal stuffs in the silk road,
They also used Bitcoin as a payment method for everything that they could down in the dark net from hacking ,paying for assassin, and all sorts of stuffs .

you fool always making alarming post here without even thinking if this is justifiable or not?all currencies are being used by this f*cking maniac purchasing this kind of stuff,so if bitcoin must be banned because of this ,then what about all paper money in which has been used before they learn using bitcoin?

This is some alarming article if this news is really true. I'm not that worried about some pornography and other photos inserted into the blockchain but how about destructive malwares and viruses secretly stored into your most valuable vault disaster waiting. If everyone has bitcoin worldwide (assuming it will become the next currency), who knows what happens is some nasty malware is inserted in all computers without the owner knowing. Hopefully they'll find some solution in filtering perhaps the blockchain.

I think were not in position to control it but were hoping that our leaders of this forum could find solutions to control the pornograhy scattred in blockchain, with this we avoid doing nonsense to earn money that came from bad thoughts and creation of demonic mind.

i don't think it's true. if i understand correctly the way it all works, you cannot put in a block any data, but the transactions information (private key, the amount of tokens and wallet address). so it's impossible. it's just another try to make people give up on crypto. so i would recommend you to read about the way blockchain works before making any conclusions.

Wrong.

Doesn't anyone READ the actual post,
or READ the actual paper ?

This is NOT about BTC being used for child porn.

It's about child porn data being stored ON THE BLOCKCHAIN.

Amazing how few posters have realised what this is about.

Child pornography already happened even before bitcoin exist,  and Yeah it is possible to use bitcoin for child pornography, and i hope it will not happen.

[AurumService]

I`d like to stress that there`s a whole hidden world called Darknet where one can buy everything illegal for bitcoins, etherium, litecoins etc. There`s a lot of videos on Youtube where people show screenshots where one can see that the only payments that are accepted there are crypto-payments. It`s done for security but still people get caught visiting this site. Criminals are very active trying to deliver their illegal goods and services to customers but if one is sane there`s no need in it. Perverts and law breakers have always present in our society but Internet and new technologies gave them a new opportunities.

Child pornography is already prevalent even before Bitcoin came into existence. Such crime is not in any way a result of Bitcoin and its development. The cause of child pornography is a rotten mind, drugs, alcohol, and other forms of vices that drag a person into a certain kind of animal. You need to realize that a lot of porn sites offering child porn does not accept Bitcoin but fiat.

[JoseJoseJose]

In deep web, as i know, theres a lot of illegal activities more than child pornography. And the use of bitcoin for this illegal activity was not new. In fact, deep web was operated by someone or something with the use of bitcoin many years ago. This activities changed the concept of bitcoin as illegal.

[aryaadikariyansyahsuwarto]

this is something that can be bad for bitcoin, they do stupid things with bitcoin, so bitcoin will become banned for all countries, even can be abolished .....

[GDragon]

I think that is possible however it is just a normal problem encountered by the crypto-world. I think it is not too alarming and we all knew that even without this thiing, it will continue as f*ck after. It will always depend on the user and the true usage/intention of it will be the clear as crystal.
