At least it was SOCA, not CHAOS or SPECTRE. Then we'd be in real trouble.

#12Did we just get trapped by clicking the above link? There have been cases were people just idly clicking on a link have been deemed to be guilty even if it was just as a result of curiosity. See: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-9899151-38.html Shouldn't there be warnings before people post links like that which may have unintended consequences for the link clickers?
Oh come on. Grow a pair of balls - if you've just been 'trapped' by a link then have the guts to go to court and fight for something. Don't be such a bloody wimp.

Perhaps - but the point is that the link is sitting there without any warning at all about the fact that the site is threatening anyone that clicks on it. At the very least there should be a [WARNING]. Who's to say that someone won't post a honeypot link of the style mentioned in the above article I just cited? If you didn't read that, you should. Entrapment on the internet is real.

If such a link is suspected then we should spread it far and wide, rendering it effectively useless.

#16What's SOCA's policy on Data Protection? Since they're admitting they've taken my details don't they have to comply with UK law in that area? I came to it via the link on the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17039722

Yeah, no kidding. I read the message with my IP and OS/browser and the message "we're coming to get you, Barbara!" and just rolled my eyes. Visiting a domain is not illegal, let alone "serious organized crime".
Not so sure about that. Check here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-9899151-38.html
I don't think this is the same. In the FBI case, the link was very obviously going to something labeled as illegal. The case would have to show intent, which the FBI was able to prove. In this case, all you'd have to do to defend yourself against legal repercussions is show this HN article. The CNet article doesn't give any indication that these people clicked the FBI's links expecting to get anything OTHER than illegal materials.
