CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IN BITCOIN

[Gudhal Untu]

This is a challenge, as adults we should always give a positive education about the influence of pornography to children, we must always emphasize that children are not worthy of pornography.

Bitcoin is use in darkweb as payment method for its anonymity, child pornography is a common thing in darkweb and nothing new about it being bitcoin involved into it

[Dudeperfect]

Probably it is the time to realise that Bitcoin has nothing to do with crime and the users who are using it for the illegal activities are responsible for such crimes. Bitcoin is just another form of money and crypto industry is all about self-responsibility so users are responsible for any kind of consequences took place due to their actions.

There is always a way to track the criminals and punish them.

It really saddened everyone as governments are against bitcoin even the logic behind it wasn't the fault of bitcoin but the people who use it in a way that was totally unacceptable. Other truth reflects in everything is that it will never be diminished, its the people we can't deal with.

A lot of dirty businesses will soon find cryptocurrency as a way to solve tracking issue since it will be difficult for any body or agent to trace their transaction activities.

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 think this is bad for bitcoin because it can affect it negatively. It can cause the fall of bitcoin because government will think that bitcoin can use in some illegal activities.

Dollars and Euros and Yen could become illegal in all countries if the same logic gets applied to them.

Wrong.
Read the story - there is porn stored ON THE BLOCKCHAIN.

Do Dollars and Euros and Yen have child porn stored inside them ?

Why don't posters here READ the article before posting ignorant nonsense ?

OK, my bad that I did not read through the Whole article. However, this still makes no sense. What means "hidden links"? You could hide "links to child pornography" in any publication of any kind - and you could even hide it in the Bible by giving people refernces on which letters on which pages would give you the links to child porn. Would the Bible become illegal then too?

The links are to the host right ? Then the host of the file can be taken down and the file can be deleted and the link be dead, the actual photo is not on the Blockchain.

Exactly, much ado about nothing, if they want to take down child porn just do that taking down the actual files which are stored on a computer that you can easily trace. Moreover, these links must now be years old, you need just a few days to take down files.

Is there any way to detect if a certain Bitcoin has been used for illegal activities? I mean, if there will be a program that will automatically detect, then the government will somehow be at ease or can trust the technology that it won't be used in any illegal matters.

[RomanPetrush]

There is some much worse crypto than bitcoin 100%. The criminal uses other cryptocurrencies with better anonymity. Is anonymity good or bad? Good question.

Bitcoin has nothing to do with with this trash.  Same could be said about cash.  Sick people going to do sick things and use any means of exchange they can find.  Hell people used tally sticks and it worked great for a long time.  Bitcoins not the issue.  May be a good way for .gov to trick you into thinking it does so they can keep printing their fiat.   

[skibikipapa69]

The first time I heard about bitcoin was when I was researching about the darkweb. Bitcoin was commonly used there as a means of payment when you buy illegal stuffs. I think that leaves a bad reputation for bitcoin. But if you think well even fiat money is used in illegal stuffs, bitcoin is not to blame for that.

[Gulaa1885]

Never happening bs

[iotarocket]

That is FUD. First off, it would be a painstaking process to even find it in the blockchain, and to the extent that it could be found, I believe it would require specialized software or forensics to reconstruct the original images. This is a very sensational topic with little substance.

[Zigzagkuy]

I think it will have a negative impact on bitcoin. Of course, children should not watch porn. And with the news it will certainly make the parents worried about his son. But that can be prevented while parents can supervise the child.

[doroshok1]

Don't get too close, it's all bullshit.  And not bitcoin is bad, but people who use this technology for bad purposes. After all, according to the same logic, you need to ban a lot of money.

[kiatitami]

Please do not bring children to this market, as they will no longer participate in social activities, and they will forget their adolescence, which is why I do not allow my child to participate in the market. this school while they are not 18 years old.

[Kimchu kuno]

Hayz, another black shit staining propaganda. Why even bother?, some people with ill intention will  create a reason to hedge the progress of bitcoins. almost all of these cases are already deep rooted in the internet, and since we live in internet, why bother?. These kind of services won't stop any time soon because everyone has free access and can stored their ill gotten data on bockchain. So don't fret it's nothing new.

It's doesn't affected to me pornography using bitcoin that's the attitude of individuals we cannot stop them that thier own expenses and that's thier coins what ever they wanted to must be responsible for it.

It is not that the child watches porn, it is the child that are involved with porn. The children are being manipulated and being mind setted with a false belief and one of the people that are involved with that are the parents of those children and they should be arrested and put in a jail to decrease the victims of child pornography.

[leeheidrick]

please teach children with positive and good, to avoid this kind of incident,
parents should educate children with the best, because we are all human beings who have the brain to think positive and good.

What can you say about it?

In my opinion, it is so funny when people blame a thing for their fault. How could bitcoin become illegal just because of child pornography? Come on man, even we use dollar for accessing pornography, it doesn't mean that it was a dollar fault then dollar become illegal. The thing that should be an illegal thing is the child pornography.
