I can't help but laugh. I always joke with my irc buds that we are chatting in a NSA honeypot. Maybe it's actually true? lol I think I'm actually disillusioned now. Just another example of why you should never put information you wouldn't want someone to know on the internet.

Ironically, it turns out the entire internet is an NSA honeypot.

CAUTION: if you follow links from that article, prepare yourself for some extremely fucked up shit. I was wondering how CashWhore doxxed so many people, so I followed the link to WJunction, then clicked on one of the threads. There was a link to a site with young girls without much clothing. I had to close my browser immediately. Just wanted to put that out there, if anyone is browsing from work or doesn't have a strong stomach.

No adblock installed? It's just a one-of-many-of-its-kind boring forum when I clicked on the link?

Also; fucked up shit; I guess you are talking about 'normal' modern porn? Where they let 20somethings look like 16-18? Or it is something else / worse?
