I would agree if the questions was about helping to catch someone who had made these videos. But hosting isn't a morality question, they are just storing a number, and hosting company should not have to care what interpretations of a number can exist.
Okay, what’s your social security number, legal name, and date of birth? It’s just a number, you shouldn’t have any problem sharing all of those.
50% of known CP is hosted in Netherlands. A country smaller than New York state.
> 50% of known CP is hosted in Netherlands. Does that mean “CP is hosted disproportionately in the Netherlands” or “CP hosted in the Netherlands is disproportionately likely to be discovered”?
Uncovering sources of CP is done pretty much equally for all countries considering the nature of the distribution of content and how it is uncovered and traced back.
Here's an article describing the procedure and how the statistic was calculated: https://www.tellerreport.com/life/--why-is-there-so-much-chi...

"images of child abuse are not child abuse". Right. Because those images were just created magically? Someone took them. And there's a market for them. If there's no market for such pictures, likely less children will suffer the consequences. Fighting the crime directly is important, but so is doing it indirectly. Read about the suicide rates in the UK by women before and after the country changed the type of gas sto…
> If there's no market for such pictures, likely less children will suffer the consequences. The market will always exist: pedophiles. They have been and will be among us until the end of times. > Fighting the crime directly is important, but so is doing it indirectly. Yes, but the difference is so abysmal that you know where is more important to put the effort. Stopping even 1 child of being abused is better than st…

> "Armin received a bottle of jenever in thanks. „But the customs made me throw it away before the return flight. I couldn’t even take a sip.”" It would have been airport security that made him throw it away, not customs. At that time, the UK was part of the customs union, so there were no customs on a flight between the Netherlands and UK.
> „But the customs made me throw it away before the return flight. I couldn’t even take a sip.”" B.S. Before a flight, a highly paid (given what they do) security theather monkey tried to demand that I forfeit an expensive bottle. Knowing full well how it works in most countries, where the loots are split at the end of the day, I said "watch this", chugged it down, and voluntarily surrendered the now empty bottle. At…

I might care more once laws start protecting children from those in power more than used by those in power as a ploy to dismantle privacy from ordinary people.
Have you seen the news about the child predator congressman facing imminent indictment?
what about the isp companies they use for connect the datacenter?
Read the article. > If the companies that give IP Volume access to the rest of the internet were all to decide to stop doing so, the company could no longer operate on the internet. This is called de-peering, and it does occur very sporadically. > But it is highly controversial, says Guilmette. It flies in the face of the voluntary, decentralised structure of the internet. That is why the largest hub, the Amsterdam I…
It's like youtube saying that they're simply "a highway" for video hosting. If it's moving through your platform, you have to be aware of what it is. There are police monitoring highways, there is extensive monitoring on youtube, so why is AIM pretending that the same rules don't apply?
The hosting company could be a cesspool but I just checked one of the news blog site the article attributed to ‘right wing radicals’. The content looks like Dutch version of Buzzfeed or TMZ https://vizieroplinks.org/
Damn. Seems like I found the adres where I will get servers when I need them.
Somehow, when the following two sentences are put together I lose all hope in the world's incentive structure: "Grapperhaus instituted a number of measures. [...] Companies would have to respond to a notification from the child pornography hotline without discussion within 24 hours" "In 2015, Ecatel became embroiled in a lengthy conflict with the Premier League in the UK over claims of illegal streaming of football m…

Has that ever been enforced, in any shape or form?
You have to counterfile, but there's a poison pill in the regulation that by doing so you agree U.S. courts have jurisdiction, thereby nullifying any protections you have from being in another countries juridiction. I mean, there is no getting around it if you want the countersuit to work and reflect poorly on the claimant, but you are agreeing to letting the U.S. have extra-territorial jurisdiction.
