@@guccivalues5692 honestly i dont even know how much of a bonus it is. guaranteed the pedos who saved it likely shared it to someone else before getting caught. like, they kept it in circulation, n espec if it was easier to access the site it made it more likely for csa material to spread. like, yeah you caught some bad guys but at the cost of the exact terrible material to be spread again to people who arent caught
Imagine being the parent of one of these victimized children, and finding out that explicit media of your kid was sent to predators by your own government. You'd have to live the rest of your life knowing that they went behind your back, and that likely multiple terrible creeps live to hold the memory of that media in their heads. "We did it to catch them" probably wouldn't be much of a consolation.
Mate this is how all government agencies do it… they infiltrate a cp site and let the content run while they collect info on its users.. this is not new
Obviously they’ll shoot your kids and they keep people from doing things with the threat of violence or locking you in a cage where you have no rights that’s terrorism governance through violence is terrorism
What you may not realize is that the 4th amendment is part of the US's highest law: The Constitution defines what the government is and isn't allowed to do and what laws are allowed to exist. In violating the 4th amendment protection, the FBI made it possible *FOR THESE CRIMINALS TO GET OFF SCOT FREE ON A TECHNICALITY.* They can get their arrest vacated, sentences overturned, and their record cleared because the FBI *ABDICATED ITS RESPONSIBILITY.*
Yeah they try to use their illegal methods to do something okay for once and just end up giving the pedos a free win in court. About typical if you ask me. Im surprised they even did this at all considering certain facts about that subset of criminals and their alleged potential relationships to the bureau and other agencies. Lol.
Great they were caught, but absolutely disgusting they would use CSAM of real children to achieve this. They do not have the right to continue the abuse of these children like this.
And if they hadn't arrested the owners it would still be up today with more predators remaining free. There's no perfect answer but this is certainly a better route to go than leave it running.
@@snowmantuna these are definitely some morally gray grounds. no matter what way you twist it it still seems messed up and yet not at the same time. confusing
@montgomery_gator_enthusiast Nope it's just bad. The reason CP is illegal is because it abuses the children depicted + continues to abuse them by having their traumatic experience viewable. The FBI is committing a crime by doing this and it's not justifiable. If the police shut down a meth operation but then proceeded to start it back up under their control + still sold product and only arrested people after they ingested the meth, then they're really not much better than the original criminals.
This reminds me of the easter egg in GTA IV where if Nico were to go on one of "those" websites, you would automatically get four stars and the police would go to your location.
how are we giving away our feedom LMAO. we're lucky we didnt end up like these poors kid. and this was the best hope they had to being free, its worth it
@@serahmus9178 using the exact tools that are illegal to yourself in the pursuit of an end result is horrible. It would be like r*ping a population in an attempt to make it so bad that nobody wants to do it anymore. The FBI wasn't using bait or fake minors. It was distributing actual CP
@@serahmus9178I'm trying to parse this visual stroke of a sentence. From what I can tell, you don't understand the concept that having your rights and freedoms taken away in exchange for increasingly illusory safety is a thing that's happening at all? Well, it is.
@@serahmus9178 So you’re ok with further traumatizing the children victims in that content, by allowing our nations highest domestic law enforcement agency to redistribute said content? Because of the potential “honeypot” effect alone? That’s quite telling if so; needless to say those poor children weren’t kin to you? I’d venture a guess that they’re just names/faces in a bigger story about catching CP-obsessed scumbags? Me personally I care about every individual child and no content involving them should be anywhere online or anywhere else; Regardless who posted it. For the record, do we get to review every single FBI employee who set up or accessed the content as part of their “job”? How do we know they’re not all pervs who lucked in to their literal ideal form of employment, getting to “patrol” CP forums for “catching criminals” when in reality they’re doing what MANY FBI agents over the years have been caught doing, engaging in disgusting criminal activity under the color of the law? When does it stop? If it’s YOUR child are you ok with the government using graphic sexual content to catch other pervs?
"Ran" is a bit of a stretch. They allowed the servers that were already running to stay up for a bit so they could monitor all the traffic. But then again the 80s happened so it's not like it was there first time in control of a drug operation... lol
Takes me back a year ago to when I tipped off a senior cop from my church, about a peedoh ring in his jurisdiction. 2 days later my net speed slowed down and I noticed I had a new IP address that, when looked up, belonged to an outfit called i3-Corps, using office space at LAPD HQ. Good times. Took a lot of phone calls and some help from the ACLU to make the spying on ME stop. Me, the guy that reported crime not the guy doing any crime.
Mutahar, I've been to prison for bail jumping and let me tell ya, I did paralegal assistance in the law library for people with ALL KINDS of cases. When going over the case file with an inmate who had "one of those" cases...I found that my state's Department of Justice actually keeps it's own library of cheese pizza. Basicly, when they catch somebody, they make COPIES of this stuff, and than they honey pot it across the internet on torrents/file sharing - THAN using a program called "UIS" on ps2 networks, they ghost-download the file they shared with you and van your house! shit you not I read this in somebody's case file! Not defending the guy but holy fuck that got me thinking about our government differently.
This is baby stuff, Vault 7 leaks basically confirm that literally any piece of hardware produced in the US has built in backdoors for the feds. I doubt they are the only ones doing it, but they are certainly the most prolific government to do so.
It’s true! Imagine saying something on social media that they don’t like or not blindly agreeing with whatever narrative they are pushing. then your house is raided and suddenly you find yourself getting framed with CP on your computer. Then you go to jail in addition to being put on a public list to be shamed and having the rest of your life completely destroyed. The unfortunate despair of many innocent Americans, sadly. 😢
They distributed illegal material... the same thing they threw other people in jail for. This isn't a sting this is criminal activities that normal people would be put in jail for even if they were trying to catch somebody. Some people need to go to jail and a lot of people need to lose their job, maybe the whole agency because the rot runs deep.
What are u talking about? They always do most child predators are let free after a decade of prison time there’s like a single one every like 5 years that gets hit with the life time but most don’t get that many years
The FBI agents that helped the site run should be thrown in jail for the crimes they committed. it doesnt matter if you commit a crime to try to catch someone else committing a crime, you still committed a crime and need to be charged. they willingly committed a crime that they knew was a crime
@@blankspace2891 yes. At the very least they have to archive all of it for court cases and they need someone to watch that shit and basically make a record of what happens in each video if it's relevant to the court case. In addition to that they also share the same materials to criminals in honeypot sites
I think that unfortunately you can’t always justify awful actions with good results. Protecting children is a very good thing, but if the government does gross actions to achieve it, then it becomes normalized and accepted as a standard procedure. There is also the optics of it. When the government breaks the law to “uphold the law”, then they lose the legitimacy. There are procedures and proper ways to do things that, while maybe not as immediately effective, do not risk overreach and is more effective in the long term.
Absolutely. It's very easy to let these things slide when the crime is so heinous, but this ultimately gives them more and more wriggle-room to enact this shit on the rest of us. Also, the ultimate issue with distributing CSAM is the revictimisation of those exploited, which the FBI _amplified_ in their seizure of the site. They did not consult the survivors, they did not compensate them, they went ahead and used them as bait without their permission. However disgusting child predators are, the FBI is behaving little better in doing this. You cannot fight fire with fire, especially on a issue like this. It makes me wonder how many of those websites are actually under their control, serving as "honeypots" while furthering the victimisation of CSAM survivors. Fucking revolting.
@@ScrawnyTreeDemon exactly. The whole “who cares they are targeting f*cking pedos” people are missing the point. I don’t care that they hacked pedos. I care that they circumvented the system to hopefully hack some pedos and ask for permission after the fact (hopefully not messing with entire criminal proceedings in doing so). This recklessness not only gives legitimate criminals a way out, but also gives justification to target anyone without a court order in hopes that they will get whoever they consider a deplorable. I’m not a fan of slippery slope arguments because obviously a line has to be set somewhere, so how about we set the line on getting a f*cking warrant first!
They really couldnt use people who kind of looked younger but were really over 18 and just said it was CP? It literally took me like 5 seconds to think that one through, how did it not even dawn on them?
I love that they will go to the depth of compromising personal liberties to catch child predators. But they can’t set up simple stings, and UA-camrs catch more predators than cops do daily 🤦♂️.
@AK-sx4zp exactly. That's why I personally believe they need to get rid of certain organizations, (looking at YOU ATF) and create a dedicated federal organization focused solely on child and other sexual predators
@@lucassmith1886dude that’s actually a fucking great idea. I just looked it up and the human trafficking industry is worth $150 billion annually while the drug trade is worth about $360 billion annually and the DEA was formed during a time when it was worth much less. I wonder what the reason for that not being formed is or if it’s thought of as too niche of an issue for it to fall under a single organization. The problem with that is that it doesn’t get focused on the way it deserves to if it’s left to regular law enforcement as they have to focus on literally every crime. I know there’s tons of vigilante watch dog groups that specialize in busting rings and what not, but there absolutely needs to be a letter agency dedicated to that with federal funding and resources. That shit is probably single handedly, the most evil industry and makes me question the intent for not forming something for that, when the issue is so massive.
@@revolvingworld2676Amnesty international is probably the closest organization when it comes to that, but that’s really more of a worldwide movement focused on human rights violations on a broader spectrum and they don’t have jurisdiction in the way a law enforcement agency would and the issue absolutely deserves that. Along with a ton of watch dog groups formed by citizens. The issue definitely needs government funding and a law enforcement entity behind it when it’s such a massive issue/industry. I would absolutely support a letter agency like a CIA/FBI dedicated to the issue solely, in the same way there’s the DEA for drugs.
@GODEATER2 yes they can lmfao its called intent. The law doesn't care that they were over 18 because he believed he was talking to minors it's the same shit with the to catch a predator show they used actors over 18 but the people still got charged because they worked with police and the intent was clearly shown. EDP didn't get charged because the internet detectives didn't work with the police and most likely obtained evidence illegally ruining any chance of him being arrested. The other possibility is since they didn't work with the police they could have messaged him in a way that could be taken as entrapment
And I can't read the replies because of the censer of Themtube. They are scared of the true coming out. The CEO of Themtube wants to keep Susans legacy of censer. Protect the kids, transition hurt the kids
Iwonder how many FBI agents got caught by accident and nothing happened to these people. Most "stings" these days seem to have agents as leaders or the most commited people in the group
Well, to be fair, it's far safer and easier going after gullible marks than actual hardened criminals who cover their tracks well and/or have means to attack people that try to arrest them. 🤷♂️
This is really disturbing and leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. Anyone involved with distributing illegal material should be in jail for a long hefty time and I’m disappointed with how they handled the situation.
I wouldn't be surprised if some superior officers are using this as an excuse to launder their cp. making it seem it was found in raids but really they are just getting rid of paper trails.
@@na-vn5qy Tor browser is involved with the dark web, without the tor browser. the dark web wouldn't exist. and People abuse the privacy and anonymity of Tor and get rich and likely never donate to the creators or maintainers of tor while all along creating market places to commit crime thinking their safe under Tor's protection.
While I appreciate FBI for apprehending those criminals, the problem I see with this is it sets a dangerous precedent. Today, such invasive tech was used for a good cause but hard to tell if their intentions will stay that way. Another issue is if it wasn't the government doing this act, the third party would most likely be punished harder.
They barely arrested the people they actually caught. A six digit number of people used the site and the FBI only arrested three digits worth of people, most of whom got their cases thrown out because the FBI considered protecting their invasive tech more valuable than protecting children.
I like how EVERYTHING has to be bad. "ACLU stumbled upon the cure for all cancers!" - "IT MUST BE THE DEVIL!" "Congress passed a bill that allows people to use the bathrooms they feel comfortable with." - "THEY SUPPORT CHILD RAPE!"

Growing up everyone thought if you said the word "bomb" over a phone line (pre mobile) that your phone would be automatically recorded by the UK (and US by the huge "airbases" like Menwith Hill that we had scattered all over the country). This was a pretty pervasive to the point everybody thought it. This stuff has been going on forever unfortunately.
The FBI as well as the CIA need to be intensely monitored by someone with a conscience and strong knowledge of the law, because obviously neither organization possesses someone like that. They should be defunded dramatically until they can get their shit together, and then once they actually start doing some good they should be fed a larger budget bit by bit. I think every government agency should receive this treatment, but these two especially.
There is a total absence of meaningful oversight of any government police state actor: prosecutors, Judges, Public defendors, cops, feds, security firms, snitches, bogus witnesses using tainted evidence, etc. There is no reason why cop should ever be allowed to investigate cops. There i no reason prosecutors and Judges should be allowed the descretion to prosecute and punish their pals......the in group.......the police state in all it's inbred secrecy and pride. Congress passed the Patriot Act and WCA (legalizing torture of any person, any way, for any length of time). There is nothing about The Fisa Ct that is reliable or believable. There is no open courts doctrine to allow due process review of this secret Star Chamber that meets ex parte with one side represented. The hoax is that the authorities can and should be trusted with power of any kind.
Keep in mind that the FBI has the largest collection of CP in the world. Yes i know that its intended for investigation purposes. However, its like the billions of dollars of drugs that are seized by federal agencies that said agencies have been caught red handed (many times) distributing themselves to fund their questionable operations. There are billions in CP laying around. Think its not being distributed?
they totally could delete like 99.9% of the data and still have enough to investigate, or even delete it all and stage their own *FAKE* stuff to fish in people without real victims
Not really if it’s doing a net good, I think of this as the modern version of an FBI agent going undercover to join the mafia in order to get insider information/collect evidence
This is not combating these predator's, it's Government Sanctioned predation. The fact they have so much of the material that it makes one lose hope in humanity.
You people will see an organisation do an objectively good thing, but because it's part of the government you will assume it's bad. I guarantee you wouldn't care if an organisation of independent hackers brought this site and the people running it to justice.
@@kallekulmala1876 "objectively good thing" -> Define good thing. Would hosting a CP website be a good thing? No? And would hosting a CP website with the objective of getting those pedos, be a good thing? Also no.
The problem here is when the government is found to be in violation of the law in procuring evidence the courts have a tendency to toss out their cases as they legally won't hold up in court. Which means you have more criminals walking and being a lot more careful not to get busted again. It's important that the government follows the proper legal procedures so this never happens.
i mean its kids dude who tf cares if they caught them in a non legal way. they should still be charged and sent away. granted they could of found a better way tbh. but i mean come on you get in trouble for that, and they go well they did it this way so you can go.

True but the 3 letter agency is committing a crime to put a stop to criminals who will continue to commit more crimes, and in this specific case you never know if these predators they took down would have eventually moved onto actually targeting children in real life rather than just looking at pictures online. It’s truly a grey area, does committing a crime to take down evil people justify the crime? Idk it’s really hard to say imo.
@@patrickdoyle174You could’ve ended that sentence way sooner and just said “The 3 letter agency is committing a crime”. A honeypot that hosted legal content which is advertised as illegal content could’ve been used, while still questionable at least no victims are being re-victimised.
Every organization must justify its existence, and the FBI is no different. They do stuff like that to prove that they are using their budget appropriately, and in fact, they'll ask for a bigger budget the following year.
@@JCDenton3 For catching predators? Do you not realise how much the production and distribution of this material would increase? There would be no surveilance on the internet and that breeds illegal activity.
@kallekulmala1876 that is such a small part of what the FBI does, and what responsibilities it has in that realm could be given to another agency created for that purpose. Even still, given how much fomenting of unrest, entrapment, and essentially starting their own fires they can then put out the FBI does in numerous other cases, I wonder how much they are contributing to the images of children among other awful things online. That's why I said they need to be fully audited top to bottom.
@@JCDenton3I love these comments, it's basically just projecting your own pedophilic thoughts onto the FBI "well they did it because I think they did it! and I only think they did it because I would do it in their shoes" now ik why you people are so mad about this, they took down your source of CP!
@@JCDenton3 They collect it. People who bought the material on the site got caught, and the material went back into the vault. I won't deny some agents likely get off to it, but acting like they spread it daily is outrageous.
They violated quite a few laws.. as much as I hate trying to pick a side with sicko's. I do not want to live in a world where our privacy can be so easily broken, even if it's for a good cause. And I feel this is a point to stand on loud and proud, because it is as you said. It's not about any average user having nothing to hide, it's what this can be used for as long as they can find a good justification to sell it that this suddenly becomes alright? Historically I can name a whole list of how easily this could've been misused for disastrous and nefarious purposes that big parts of those climate's could've found an agreement on. This is a NO from me on so many levels.
It's physically impossible to zero in on certain things on the dark web without some laws being broken. It's literally designed to be hard to trace for that reason. So your option is give away some of that freedom, or literally allow criminals to get away with anything they want there.
@@vonfrom1600 alright man then are you okay with me going into your house whenever i want to and being there as long as you want me to? hmm you don't? but i thought you said u have nothing to hide??
As you said. Give them an arm and they take the leg. It necessarily needs to be kept as a nono, and then left for the justice system to decide if this was a necessary exception. Because should the FBI be given green light to act this freely. You don't know what they are capable of when it comes to mass surveillance.
Any law enforcement of any kind should be held to the same, if not higher, standards of any citizen. They should be held extremely accountable in any instance where they violate the law for any reason, the same as any citizen would. Just as there is no tolerance to break laws for a citizen, there should definitely not be any tolerance for those entrusted to enforce law to bend, break, and abuse it. If a citizen breaks a law in the pursuit of justice, the prevention of harm, or otherwise, they will be held accountable regardless of their intentions, whether they meant to, or even understood what they were doing. The exact same should apply regardless of the motivation, intention, or what "good" came of it. If you truly believe in law, and enforcement of law, then they should all apply equally to everyone, and everything equally.
The problem with that is humans aren't robots. You put a bunch of people up against criminals (who are more and more protected by the law every day), some of them will end up doing unlawful things. You play in dirt, you get dirty. If you are too zealous in prosecuting cops for the rules they break, they'll soon choose to err on the side of caution and not take any risks. See Baltimore for the results. You can call it wrong all you want but this is how things work in the real world outside a courtroom.

Would that mean that police would not be able to show any CP in a criminal trial where it’s required as evidence? Technically speaking, that’s distribution of CP; it’s being disseminated to other sources, which makes it a crime. Delegated bodies, especially a specialised outfit like the FBI, should be granted powers as an institution that to us would seem criminal or less than ethical, so long as individual rights exist to counterbalance them and so long as there’s a decent check system in place.
Didn't know that the FBI secretly ran an organization about cerebral palsy and aimed on helping to those people who suffered from the disorder. Good job to them.
For good or bad, this is why it is vital that even confirmed criminals get legal representation. The whole point of those lawyers, even when they know their client is guilty, should be to ensure our agencies followed the process correctly, otherwise these cases can be used for more nefarious measures in the future against innocent peoplem
For those questioning why this is bad and thinking "it's just like that hire a hitman site, it's meant to catch bad guys!" That hitman site never actually hired a hitman or got anyone killed, that's the difference.
Bingo. And on top of that, what assurances can we possibly have that the agency didn’t produce illicit material themselves other than their word? Because we already know what their word is worth.

People with porn addictions build up a sort of tolerance to what they watch. Eventually they continue to watch corn with more pervasive, intense, and disgusting topics. Some people have watched so much that they can only get off on paraphilic material, including CP. It probably has to do with the taboo subject matter, plus the fact that since it's their job to view CP day in and day out they become used to the shock of seeing such horrible things, until they stop looking at it as children being abused and instead see it as just a hardcore form of pornographic material, which is why they dont even see these children as human. (Especially since they are PURPOSEFULLY SPREADING IT AROUND.) Or at least thats my guess.@@zaynes5094
I think there will always be issues with the death penalty, you'll always get false convictions and when someone's already getting the death penalty they'll likely stop at nothing (i.e. killing their victims and refusing to turn themselves in) to cover their tracks, ultimately harming victims further.
@@thirdwheel9938 Exactly, the death penalty is just a bad idea, one screw up out of 1000 is too much, let alone the current estimate of 1 in 24, and it doesn't disincentivize crime either
And as Mutahar points out, there's also examples of really horrible things the feds have done, especially to civil rights leaders, but going after people who hurt kids is absolutely okay in my book and we should pass some kind of Batman clause where as long as they wear a cape and tights, they're allowed to break at least one civil liberty

Personally, I think its hard (like we all think) to trust their motives and reasoning behind these sort of operations when in real domestic terrorist acts we hear that they have been monitoring certain individuals and have done NOTHING to stop these events.
Intelligence agencies failed to stop 9/11 and now we have surveillance laws and mass Surveillance. Even when Congress and the courts had the chance to impose meaningful restraints, they frequently gave in to the executive branch’s demands for greater surveillance powers. For example, in 2008, Congress enacted Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, authorizing the warrantless surveillance of Americans’ private international communications - including our phone calls, emails, chats, and web browsing. In 2013, Edward Snowden’s revelations about the breadth of U.S. government surveillance shocked the world. The public learned about the NSA’s “PRISM” and “Upstream” programs, which involve the NSA working closely with companies like Google, Facebook, AT&T, and Verizon to conduct warrantless surveillance of Americans’ international communications on a massive scale. In the face of these disclosures, intelligence officials also admitted that the NSA had for years been secretly collecting records about virtually every American’s phone calls - who’s calling whom, when those calls are made, and how long they last. This kind of information, when amassed by the NSA day after day, can reveal incredibly sensitive details about people’s lives and associations, such as whether they have called a pastor, an abortion provider, an addiction counselor, or a suicide hotline. In addition, whistleblowers and media reports revealed that the NSA was conducting bulk surveillance abroad, without any judicial oversight whatsoever, under an authority known as Executive Order 12333. In an increasingly interconnected world, Americans’ communications and data are frequently sent or routed abroad, where they’re vulnerable to collection by the NSA. The government has used this authority to tap into the links between Google’s data centers overseas, and to vacuum up 5 billion records per day on the location of cell phones around the world.
Well said. Forgot about that. Many a time ive heard an extremist or a psychopath getting reported to the agency, and they did absolutely nothing. Because of this, I'm convinced they work in conjunction with the gov't to try to use mass death events as a psyop to get Americans to give up their first amendment right.
Classic response to anyone who says they got nothing to hide is always "Can I come into your house unannounced, and uninvited at any time I want to listen in on and read all of your conversations? No? Cool, then you got stuff to hide."
like seriously why do people like that exist who are such shills to a American Propaganda machine and think, "the government is doing the right thing, no matter what party"
@@Sharkpop0thats the point they are making, you shouldnt have the mindset of "ive got nothing to hide" because you open yourself up to this shit, its the same reason for the 5th amendment, just because you did nothing wrong doesn't mean you should blabber yo the police, for all you know you are a suspect in an investigation or youve accidentally incriminated yourself for no reason. Just because you have nothing to hide doesn't mean you should leave your front door open, especially with people as shady as the FBI.
You have to be pretty hard in the heart to look at some of the stuff that must have been on that website since the main reason content mods for social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook find it difficult to do their jobs is because of the torrent of violent and abusive CP content that seems to flood their services on a daily basis. Really makes you wonder who in the FBI had the capacity to look at that amount of vile content and keep updating the site to catch those people.
I knew a guy who was in this particular area of cybercrime for the FBI.

I think the sad thing is, no matter which way you look at it, at the end of the day a bunch of pedophiles were caught and rightfully punished so people are only going to look at that and not the fact that your right to privacy is suddenly in question, inviting the reaction of "What do YOU have to hide?" Nothing, but it still creeps me out to think there's some dude in his office reading me typing private messages to my friend to make sure I'm not doing anything illegal when I've given them no reason to think otherwise. You can't treat everyone as criminals worthy of investigation, that pulls resources away from people who we KNOW are doing illegal things (coughcough Hollywood). I feel like this type of surveillance should only be used to known offenders who use sneaky methods to get to the dark web.
With how much these approaches have been abused over the decades, it's really hard to believe anyone that knows anything about such matters could have good intentions when promoting their use.
This is just a more severe case of 'Cuties' (the movie), in which they attempt to raise awareness of the sexualization of children but portray it rather unfortunately. Trying to catch individuals who harm children by hosting content that harms children, thereby re-victimizing them, is truly ironic. I believe they should also be penalized accordingly; otherwise, it sets a bad precedent wherein the ends justify the means, which is highly dubious and dangerous.
@Toxicheart88 Just watch it, its offensive but that's the point I guess. With such a stance, you might never read interesting books like Lolita or 120 days of sodom.
they don't need your permission, they don't need the permissions of the government. and they definitely aren't going to stop if told to. the cia and various corporations/individuals have run the country for a long time now. that said, it's hard to care about a cp honeypot.. the problem arises when they can secretly plant evidence or make it look like you hacked something ( since it's rumored they do have this capability and have for years)
I will add that results are results, and they did a lot of good. However, I feel obligated to disagree with the methodology. Ultimately I agree with the judge’s sentiment that the website and all assets should have been shut down instead of facilitated.

What you may not realize is that the 4th amendment is part of the US's highest law: The Constitution defines what the government is and isn't allowed to do and what laws are allowed to exist. In violating the 4th amendment protection, the FBI made it possible *FOR THESE CRIMINALS TO GET OFF SCOT FREE ON A TECHNICALITY.* They can get their arrest vacated, sentences overturned, and their record cleared because the FBI *ABDICATED ITS RESPONSIBILITY.*
also so many maxims of law that can thwart the prosecutors case now because of this
Yeah they try to use their illegal methods to do something okay for once and just end up giving the pedos a free win in court. About typical if you ask me.

I think that unfortunately you can’t always justify awful actions with good results. Protecting children is a very good thing, but if the government does gross actions to achieve it, then it becomes normalized and accepted as a standard procedure. There is also the optics of it. When the government breaks the law to “uphold the law”, then they lose the legitimacy. There are procedures and proper ways to do things that, while maybe not as immediately effective, do not risk overreach and is more effective in the long term.
They also could have just, not actually distributed it.

Yeah. This type of stuff absolutely should not be normalized by the feds
@@Filthy_Cubes good to see some senible takes in these comments
Absolutely. It's very easy to let these things slide when the crime is so heinous, but this ultimately gives them more and more wriggle-room to enact this shit on the rest of us. Also, the ultimate issue with distributing CSAM is the revictimisation of those exploited, which the FBI _amplified_ in their seizure of the site. They did not consult the survivors, they did not compensate them, they went ahead and used them as bait without their permission.
However disgusting child predators are, the FBI is behaving little better in doing this. You cannot fight fire with fire, especially on a issue like this. It makes me wonder how many of those websites are actually under their control, serving as "honeypots" while furthering the victimisation of CSAM survivors.
Fucking revolting.
@@ScrawnyTreeDemon exactly. The whole “who cares they are targeting f*cking pedos” people are missing the point. I don’t care that they hacked pedos. I care that they circumvented the system to hopefully hack some pedos and ask for permission after the fact (hopefully not messing with entire criminal proceedings in doing so). This recklessness not only gives legitimate criminals a way out, but also gives justification to target anyone without a court order in hopes that they will get whoever they consider a deplorable.
I’m not a fan of slippery slope arguments because obviously a line has to be set somewhere, so how about we set the line on getting a f*cking warrant first!

@@lucassmith1886dude that’s actually a fucking great idea. I just looked it up and the human trafficking industry is worth $150 billion annually while the drug trade is worth about $360 billion annually and the DEA was formed during a time when it was worth much less.
I wonder what the reason for that not being formed is or if it’s thought of as too niche of an issue for it to fall under a single organization. The problem with that is that it doesn’t get focused on the way it deserves to if it’s left to regular law enforcement as they have to focus on literally every crime.
I know there’s tons of vigilante watch dog groups that specialize in busting rings and what not, but there absolutely needs to be a letter agency dedicated to that with federal funding and resources. That shit is probably single handedly, the most evil industry and makes me question the intent for not forming something for that, when the issue is so massive.
@@revolvingworld2676Amnesty international is probably the closest organization when it comes to that, but that’s really more of a worldwide movement focused on human rights violations on a broader spectrum and they don’t have jurisdiction in the way a law enforcement agency would and the issue absolutely deserves that. Along with a ton of watch dog groups formed by citizens.
The issue definitely needs government funding and a law enforcement entity behind it when it’s such a massive issue/industry. I would absolutely support a letter agency like a CIA/FBI dedicated to the issue solely, in the same way there’s the DEA for drugs.

The problem here is when the government is found to be in violation of the law in procuring evidence the courts have a tendency to toss out their cases as they legally won't hold up in court. Which means you have more criminals walking and being a lot more careful not to get busted again.
It's important that the government follows the proper legal procedures so this never happens.

Committing a crime makes you a criminal, unless you're a 3 letter agency, I guess.
just ask the CIA about its little Drug Trafficking scheme
True but the 3 letter agency is committing a crime to put a stop to criminals who will continue to commit more crimes, and in this specific case you never know if these predators they took down would have eventually moved onto actually targeting children in real life rather than just looking at pictures online. It’s truly a grey area, does committing a crime to take down evil people justify the crime? Idk it’s really hard to say imo.

@kallekulmala1876 that is such a small part of what the FBI does, and what responsibilities it has in that realm could be given to another agency created for that purpose. Even still, given how much fomenting of unrest, entrapment, and essentially starting their own fires they can then put out the FBI does in numerous other cases, I wonder how much they are contributing to the images of children among other awful things online.

As you said. Give them an arm and they take the leg. It necessarily needs to be kept as a nono, and then left for the justice system to decide if this was a necessary exception. Because should the FBI be given green light to act this freely. You don't know what they are capable of when it comes to mass surveillance.
Don't think I've ever heard a more fitting analogy for the things happening recently just in general like drag queen story hour.
Any law enforcement of any kind should be held to the same, if not higher, standards of any citizen. They should be held extremely accountable in any instance where they violate the law for any reason, the same as any citizen would. Just as there is no tolerance to break laws for a citizen, there should definitely not be any tolerance for those entrusted to enforce law to bend, break, and abuse it. If a citizen breaks a law in the pursuit of justice, the prevention of harm, or otherwise, they will be held accountable regardless of their intentions, whether they meant to, or even understood what they were doing. The exact same should apply regardless of the motivation, intention, or what "good" came of it. If you truly believe in law, and enforcement of law, then they should all apply equally to everyone, and everything equally.
We need more batmen, not judge dread's.
The problem with that is humans aren't robots. You put a bunch of people up against criminals (who are more and more protected by the law every day), some of them will end up doing unlawful things. You play in dirt, you get dirty. If you are too zealous in prosecuting cops for the rules they break, they'll soon choose to err on the side of caution and not take any risks. See Baltimore for the results. You can call it wrong all you want but this is how things work in the real world outside a courtroom.

@trumpisthemessiah7017lazy bait.
Would that mean that police would not be able to show any CP in a criminal trial where it’s required as evidence? Technically speaking, that’s distribution of CP; it’s being disseminated to other sources, which makes it a crime. Delegated bodies, especially a specialised outfit like the FBI, should be granted powers as an institution that to us would seem criminal or less than ethical, so long as individual rights exist to counterbalance them and so long as there’s a decent check system in place.

It probably has to do with the taboo subject matter, plus the fact that since it's their job to view CP day in and day out they become used to the shock of seeing such horrible things, until they stop looking at it as children being abused and instead see it as just a hardcore form of pornographic material, which is why they dont even see these children as human.

I think there will always be issues with the death penalty, you'll always get false convictions and when someone's already getting the death penalty they'll likely stop at nothing (i.e. killing their victims and refusing to turn themselves in) to cover their tracks, ultimately harming victims further.
also some victims don't want the criminal to die. the main reason they give the penalty is to appease the public.
The death penalty would stop a bunch of victims for reporting their abuse, especially children
@@thirdwheel9938 ESPECIALLY if the abuser is a family member or family friend

Personally, I think its hard (like we all think) to trust their motives and reasoning behind these sort of operations when in real domestic terrorist acts we hear that they have been monitoring certain individuals and have done NOTHING to stop these events.
Intelligence agencies failed to stop 9/11 and now we have surveillance laws and mass Surveillance.
Even when Congress and the courts had the chance to impose meaningful restraints, they frequently gave in to the executive branch’s demands for greater surveillance powers. For example, in 2008, Congress enacted Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, authorizing the warrantless surveillance of Americans’ private international communications - including our phone calls, emails, chats, and web browsing.
In 2013, Edward Snowden’s revelations about the breadth of U.S. government surveillance shocked the world. The public learned about the NSA’s “PRISM” and “Upstream” programs, which involve the NSA working closely with companies like Google, Facebook, AT&T, and Verizon to conduct warrantless surveillance of Americans’ international communications on a massive scale.
In the face of these disclosures, intelligence officials also admitted that the NSA had for years been secretly collecting records about virtually every American’s phone calls - who’s calling whom, when those calls are made, and how long they last. This kind of information, when amassed by the NSA day after day, can reveal incredibly sensitive details about people’s lives and associations, such as whether they have called a pastor, an abortion provider, an addiction counselor, or a suicide hotline.
In addition, whistleblowers and media reports revealed that the NSA was conducting bulk surveillance abroad, without any judicial oversight whatsoever, under an authority known as Executive Order 12333. In an increasingly interconnected world, Americans’ communications and data are frequently sent or routed abroad, where they’re vulnerable to collection by the NSA. The government has used this authority to tap into the links between Google’s data centers overseas, and to vacuum up 5 billion records per day on the location of cell phones around the world.
Well said. Forgot about that. Many a time ive heard an extremist or a psychopath getting reported to the agency, and they did absolutely nothing.
Because of this, I'm convinced they work in conjunction with the gov't to try to use mass death events as a psyop to get Americans to give up their first amendment right.

Really makes you wonder who in the FBI had the capacity to look at that amount of vile content and keep updating the site to catch those people.
I knew a guy who was in this particular area of cybercrime for the FBI. It was only after extensive psych evaluation he was allowed in to the unit, and the unit was a mandatory maximum of only 3 years then you're out never to return.

I think the sad thing is, no matter which way you look at it, at the end of the day a bunch of pedophiles were caught and rightfully punished so people are only going to look at that and not the fact that your right to privacy is suddenly in question, inviting the reaction of "What do YOU have to hide?"
Nothing, but it still creeps me out to think there's some dude in his office reading me typing private messages to my friend to make sure I'm not doing anything illegal when I've given them no reason to think otherwise. You can't treat everyone as criminals worthy of investigation, that pulls resources away from people who we KNOW are doing illegal things (coughcough Hollywood). I feel like this type of surveillance should only be used to known offenders who use sneaky methods to get to the dark web.
With how much these approaches have been abused over the decades, it's really hard to believe anyone that knows anything about such matters could have good intentions when promoting their use.
This is just a more severe case of 'Cuties' (the movie), in which they attempt to raise awareness of the sexualization of children but portray it rather unfortunately. Trying to catch individuals who harm children by hosting content that harms children, thereby re-victimizing them, is truly ironic. I believe they should also be penalized accordingly; otherwise, it sets a bad precedent wherein the ends justify the means, which is highly dubious and dangerous.
@Toxicheart88 Just watch it, its offensive but that's the point I guess. With such a stance, you might never read interesting books like Lolita or 120 days of sodom.
It still catches said predators and prevents them from victimizing children in the future.
