    I dont welcome it.

    A Spyware campaign by the feds to catch pedos. And no-one will be against it because every-one is against pedos. And it will be a successful project so they will use it for catching drug dealers and no-one will be against it because every-one is against drugs and so on and so on and in a depressing dystopian future, governments will stay in power because supporters of the opposition will be found out using state sponsored spyware.

    IS this not the case already though Syklops ? its a topic and touchy area for me . Recently an 6 year long xboxlive friend vanished from our evening sessions , as it turns out the guy has been arrested by the FBI for child porn distribution due to be in court April 13th . Some two years ago i may have inadvertently aided his access to such sources as he engaged me in chats alot about dark nets , onion domains , encryption all under the guise of illegal movie downloads ( normal movies he mentioned **** all about that nasty heinous sh1t.) I advised as best i could in light of not knowing what he was up to. Back in june last year we only discovered recently that FBI raided his house and his kids were no longer allowed vist him ( asked him a few times why his kids could not longer be heard in the background at weekends) to that he shrugged it off with im fighting with the X.

    IT seems he may have been nabbed via similar tech if he was using dark nets( Again nothing confirmed and innocent till proven guilty) Thing is he is not Bale and his case impending is USA versus his name and not the state versus his name , so i think hes in serious trouble.

    The guy was due to stay with us at the end of march for a holiday where he would travel around the various live friends. We thought we knew and trusted him , but in this case I am glad malware may have played a part in nailing the pr1ck.( I have kids of my own)

    Still its funny to see a guy employed to investigate this type of stuff got nailed , who's policing the police >?

    Simply googling TOR puts you on a watch list any ways so there isn't much these pr1cks can get away with im hoping.

    Im not for a second condoning what he did if he did do it, but you have to be seriously careful what you click on when you are browsing the deepweb. He could have picked up something there which used his machine as a distribution point or storage system for that material. Or someone on xbox live got the hump with him and downloaded stuff onto his machine. Its happened before.

    We hope he is not guilty of the charge its a tough one for us to swallow.
