This just in....Nerds are weird.
It is rumored they used to secretly assassinate high level peddlers of this smut ...
obama has fundamentally transformed the federal government.
:-(
A fish rots from the head ...
Not surprised.
I guess it was inevitable that /// TOP SECRET /// would be used to shield child pornography.
I find this difficult to believe. My last two employers had programs that spotted illicit activities. Just knowing such programs were out there would stop most of this activity. HR would handle the rest.
Government computers are likely much more restrictive on what they can do and where they can access.
How much in the White House?
Tool to keep the nerds on the reservation. Hire someone with a known predilection for this stuff, allow them enough leeway that they drop themselves in the muck, “discover” they have the stuff, hold over their heads to prevent whistleblowing. They have profiles they know what makes these guys tick. Sure bet they are a safe asset.
“But, but....I was SURE there was a secret message from al-Qaeda hidden in those pictures of little boys. Yeah, yeah, that’s why I had 4 gigabytes of that on my hard drive. Honest!”
I have a co-worker who has netflix shows running all day every day when between taking calls at the Help desk we work in. If every one was allowed to do this the amount of bandwidth needed would be huge!
Now at the NSA they must be ok with child porn. As others have suggested it is the child predators who are at the top just like in the White House. There was a reason that in the past the gov’t agencies would not hire gay people.
Huummm
NSA doing its job to catch spies....
“The digital equivalent of invisible ink is steganography software, apps that embed files and data inside other files, hidden from everyone who doesn’t know any better. ... With some free tools for both the Mac and PC, you can embed secret information in image, PDF, HTML and MP3 files”
Gotta check kiddie pron like everything else. Now, if look at this (disassembling to look for hidden data) not for the job - then , ya pretty creepy....
The Dark Net is where terrorists, spooks, and purveyors of kiddie porn hang out, so why is this surprising?
