Instagram Connects Vast Pedophile Network

SIO covers this as if they are fixing software bugs. No rage against the machine. They have become part of the machine. We have such a fit for nothing intellectual class.

I'm just going to say it. Aspects of the article resemble practically a HOWTO guide. The comments from sites and the resulting lack of true changes when reported on make it clear the green light is lit and everyone is being told full speed ahead.

...is this an advertisement for perverts?

If you're actually an active pedophile then I'm sure you're already well aware of any tactics for accessing illicit content by the time they're showing up in the WSJ. For everyone else, the only way to understand the full depth of the problem and how pervasive it is, is to understand and examine the methods these people are using to connect and distribute that illicit content.

>In many cases, Instagram has permitted users to search for terms that its own algorithms know may be associated with illegal material. In such cases, a pop-up screen for users warned that “These results may contain images of child sexual abuse,” and noted that production and consumption of such material causes “extreme harm” to children. The screen offered two options for users: “Get resources” and “See results anyway.” >In response to questions from the Journal, Instagram removed the option for users to view search results for terms likely to produce illegal images. The company declined to say why it had offered the option.

Doesn't that basically serve as advertising for them though? How many people with Instagram accounts are going to try testing some of these keywords, just to see if they are real? How many aren't going to simply take the word of the journalist and suddenly have these recommendations spamming them and others?
