It's all about levels here. First level? Open and gross lewdness for the home owner. Third level? Voyeurism for the person outside.

The disgusting, gross lewdness of a naked body. Thank God someone did something.

A peer message quoted the PDF of the things he did, before finally getting put on a registry. It wasn't just being naked in his home to say the least. The message was auto-flagged because of its content.

True. Damaged parents are often the kinds of people who are taken advantage of by sex offenders. I think it requires a social fix of some kind.

However damaged someone is they have a duty of care to their children. There's someone else with a blame in the story but to excuse this is very wrong.

Completely agree. It shouldn't be treated as an excuse but it's silly to ignore this as a HUGE risk factor. Probably should be considered when making policies etc.

Please don't treat half of the people on this planet as if they were some alien species. Treat people like people.

People are weird. Men are probably even worse if you really dig deep down what we are interested in on a woman. The kind of thing we prefer not to even think about. What we evolved to like is not always “appropriate “ in a modern society.

Or -- and hear me out -- you're just wrong.

Which is likelier -- that

(1) the behavior of four billion people can be described by a sentence or two

or

(2) you have an extremely small and shallow reference pool and not enough experience and/or capability to understand and escape it?

Bro science isn't real

> nice, timid guys were friendzoned There's a reason why "nice guy" is a stereotype. The people who describe themselves like this aren't nice or timid, but insecure, angry and judgmental. They tell stories like "women like assholes" to avoid coming to terms with the idea that they're unlikable.

> and it always shocked me how bad their ex partners were. Woman are drawn to toxic abusers like men are drawn to OnlyFans models and the real victims are the children Huh. It, uh, sure is a choice to declare you deliberately only date women with underage children and then blame those women for being too stupid to recognize when they're dating dangerous men. The added bit about men getting away with abuse because wom…

Sure. But the prerequisite to make this possible is that wonen in general are very much attracted to dangerous men.

That is absolutely not what I said lol, try again.

Am I reading this correctly that the address where they found the child was where her mother’s boyfriend was living? > "So we narrowed it down to [this] one address… and started the process of confirming who was living there through state records, driver's licence… information on schools," says Squire. > The team realised that in the household with Lucy was her mother's boyfriend - a convicted sex offender. There’s a…

Not surprising to me at all. I’m a straight man and I’ve always dated single mothers, and it always shocked me how bad their ex partners were. Woman are drawn to toxic abusers like men are drawn to OnlyFans models and the real victims are the children. And women can be incredibly blind to what is going on with their child when they’re in a codependent relationship with the abuser.

To be fair, women really aren't in a habit of getting a divorce from normal/slightly fucked up man they had kid with.

Si I'd imagine only dating single mothers had a huge influence on a your statistics.

You've been downvoted into grey-blivion because that claim is wrong. It is an example of the underlying supposition that the behaviour of men and women is identical. This runs counter to the findings of psychology and sociology.

> It is an example of the underlying supposition that the behaviour of men and women is identical. No, it isn't. You've read something into it that wasn't there. You've also missed the point I made about speaking within the context of a patriarchy. > This runs counter to the findings of psychology and sociology. Let's both note that neither psychologists nor sociologists can work with non-socialised people who won't…

What a deflection, we had a good laugh. You're still wrong with comment '784.

On the one hand, this is a beautiful (but depressing) story about humans standing up for each other. On the other hand, this is clearly propaganda from the BBC to push police state functionality on the UK population by pre-justifying it. "See what happens? Never mind the part about it taking six years. Let us see everything in your fucking lives, you twats."

I found it quite depressing to read. This guy spent so much time to put just one offender behind bars but the are likely hundreds of thousands out there. So sad

Note how they didn't say that the legal process wasn't followed just that they didn't want to use their fancy face recognition for a good cause in one very particular instance. > https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1r6wluq/departmen... Let's see them stand tall then, now that the department of HS is going to make the request, no doubt through the appropriately bought and paid for channels.

They probably didn't want a news article drawing attention how creepy and pervasive their facial recognition system is, even if it was actually used for a good cause for once.

Or, it could be that they didn't get a warrant, and don't want to get into the habit of giving the government things without a warrant (or, given that it's a big US internet corporation, something political in return would probably also work).

I'm not saying they're nice, they're not. But it's probably for the best that they don't (or didn't, again, it was 10+ years ago) give government everything they ask for without a warrant.

I repeat the question: why would it be so hard to get a warrant?

Case in point A Cuban fitness model engaged to a lowlife drug traffic currently in prison in Finland. She specifically traveled all the way to meet him after sexting with him on social media. https://www.is.fi/viihde/art-2000011776913.html

Imagine you or I sending a DM to some cuban dancer abroad. The probability of that leading up to engagement is basically zero.

Indeed. Plus getting ourselves banned from the platform for harassment
