Tor is the solution to getting hellbanned at HN. That is "censorship", no? Tor is also the solution to your Twitter API woes. Like it or not. I'm sure many SEO people use it to get around Google's restrictions. These are not necessarily uses that infringe anyone's IP. Twitter is UGC. And Google caches the entire web, indiscriminantly. Tor, like the 'net itself, is controversial. It can be used for bad things. It can…
Just curiosity... why is it that you can't post to HN without Tor?
Places where illegal content is shared and people communicate for nefarious reasons and tools that create these places are just magnets for those wishing to find such people. Anyone that chooses to take part in such things is at a heightened risk, no matter what they are doing. There is no guaranteed right to privacy, regardless what your government decrees or what the tool you're using claims to do. Those using Tor…
So, according to you, we have no right to privacy, and we will be "caught and charged" regardless of justice or the facts. This sounds very much like a warning from Big Brother. Be warned, Biggie, when the revolution comes, you just might find yourself with an appointment with the guillotine.
As for the guillotine, if big brother (which isn't me, I might add) goes on the chopping block, there is always another to take his place. The more people fight for privacy and the more people hack and cause damage, the greater big brother becomes to compensate. It was said that the meek will inherit the earth, and it is true.

Whether or not they exist anyway, it seems obvious to me that a supportive peer group is going to increase their effectiveness at predation. Perhaps they talk about it so much that they don't get around to doing it--studies on violent pornography and child pornography sometimes find that viewers use them as a safe outlet to actually doing it themselves. But that's a huge gamble. At present, TOR is simply enabling chi…
"At present, TOR is simply enabling child predators to be better child predators." As are their cars, their phones, the air they breathe, etc. When are smart people going to stop falling into this fallacy?

What age range are we talking about? 17? 15? 13? less than that?
I am most attracted to children around the age of puberty, but it can go as low as 6, with no upper limit. To be clear, I'm not a criminal. That seems to have been a source of confusion in this thread.
Anyway, good job about not hurting anyone I guess.

6? Wow, I don't think I liked girls that young even when I was 6 myself. What's there to like? there's nothing feminine to them. I can understand the attraction to some 15 or 17 year olds, because they can be attractive women. But I find it mysterious that someone can be attracted to a prepubescent person. Anyway, good job about not hurting anyone I guess.

No, this is a warning for people that think they can work in a public space and be private. Privacy is a struggle, not a right. If you use a tool and expect it to keep your privacy, you should not be surprised when it doesn't work. As for the guillotine, if big brother (which isn't me, I might add) goes on the chopping block, there is always another to take his place. The more people fight for privacy and the more pe…
You are wrong:
"Privacy is a fundamental human right recognized in the UN Declaration of Human Rights, the International Convenant on Civil and Political Rights and in many other international and regional treaties. Privacy underpins human dignity and other key values such as freedom of association and freedom of speech. It has become one of the most important human rights issues of the modern age. The publication of this report reflects the growing importance, diversity and complexity of this fundamental right. " http://gilc.org/privacy/survey/intro.html
You call it meekness, I call it cowardice.

I am attracted to children , not children who appear as adults. Do you find it equally mysterious that someone can be attracted to a person of the same sex? Would you expect a gay guy must only be attracted to feminine looking men?

What about videos or images of gore where the authenticity may be hard to verify? Do these incidents of people or creatures being maimed or murdered cause people to be more likely to engage in the activities they see? Should they be illegal?
I think it depends on the prevalence of the activity. Right now, there are no recorded instances of someone engaging in violence or murder for the purpose of capturing it as an image or video for distribution. Most of the gore images on shock sites are coincidental video recordings of violent incidents/accidents or documentary images taken after the fact. These are not intentionally recorded "snuff" films, and to dat…
Also I wonder what the prevalence of fake/real violence in our society has on the demand for "snuff". You don't really need to seek out snuff films because you can easily see films that depict horrible things happening to people, completely legally.
I am not pro-child porn here, it just makes for an interesting philosophical/societal topic.

Yes, in fact I find it mysterious too. I can get used to the fact that there are such these people but I cannot possibly relate. I can empathize but I can't pretend I really understand how does it feel. Frankly I find it a bit repulsive but I won't judge for what's in other people's minds. You'd possibly find some of my tastes repulsive as well. To each his own.

Well, for what it's worth, I find it mysterious (and a bit repulsive :P) that anyone could not find Dakota Goyo attractive.
Eww well... I'm male, straight and not into kids. Maybe boring but I guess it's good to be acceptable.
Cheerio.
