You're quoting the Wikipedia page, it looks like. Do you think Schulte's former employer is too noble to have people working to "advance their perspectives" on Wikipedia? For all we know the images are stick figures. For all we know they just made up that he said that. It is exceedingly easy to manufacture something like this, when you control all the sources of information. If you ever wondered how some people in th…

No need to invent a shadowy conspiracy theory here. Some people really are just unrepentant pedophiles, and based on his own words, this guy is one of them.

There would have to be a lot of conspirators involved, that first decided to plant child pornography on this guy's encrypted hard disks and his laptop, and then somehow coerced him into defending himself with the proclamation that it's a 'victimless crime'. Given how unlikely this is, it's almost certainly the case that he is a pedophile who has trafficked in child pornography with other pedophiles. I don't know abou…

No, it would not. Odds are there is something on your hard disk right now that could be classified as child porn, if the accuser was motivated enough. And imagine you wouldn't get to defend yourself, and no one would speak up and say "Hey come on, obviously that's not remotely CSAM" because they hated you for being a "traitor". It doesn't take a conspiracy at all, all it takes is a handful of people willing to say "S…

Speak for yourself, there's absolutely nothing in my files that could even marginally be classified as child pornography. I would think this is the same for most people. With this guy, investigators found hundreds of thousands of photos and videos of child sexual abu…

Do you really believe that? Or maybe you don't really care about the truth of it, but find it convenient for your career and peace of mind to just go along with whatever his torturers say?

Tinfoil hat type of retorts is not what I expect to read on HN

There’s really nothing in the letter that sounds like anything except normal jail. There’s something about 24 hour “speakers” which sounds alarming, but if it were what you think it sounds like he would have elaborated on it a lot more. There are also a lot of people “speaking” in these places 24 hours a day which can be frustrating. Other than that this looks like deranged whining to me.

You act very confident without proof. There are documentaries of the torture styles the US government used. Speakers that will blast white noise. Sleep deprivation will literally make you go insane.
