Prison is inadequate to ensure zero-recidivism; I suggest public hanging.

Even text has been determined to be CP. A convicted child molester was on probation and had kept a journal of his fantasies, without acting on them. Because he was on probation, his writings were determined to be CP and illegal, though had someone else written them, they would not.

That's messed up -- if that were a valid thing to prosecute over, then murder-mystery authors are liable to be prosecuted for murder. It utterly fails to distinguish action from fantasy/temptation and therefore has zero basis in reality. (What would be even more messed up is if seeing a shrink regularly were a condition of the probation, and the shrink instructed him to keep said journal.)

I don’t see it as any different then undercover police. It’s just in the cyber world.

created a copy of the screen image and emailed it to myself

That there could be troublesome. Emailing it is transporting it elsewhere, depending on content could be a crime more so than simply looking at it.

Yep. It means they were actually breaking the law - exploiting children with the type of material that makes such sites illegal. And they, themselves were exposed to it.

Yes, I find the whole notion that the FBI is running child porn sites to be quite a bit disturbing. How much child porn is on the internet due to the FBI putting it there? How much is the FBI putting back in circulation? Don't the victims have the right to not have their images used as honeypots in sting operations?

It was a screen image of the google search, with the link colored purple to show I clicked on it. It was just a list of sites returned from a google search. And in the screen shot you can see that it was even labelled as a form of SharePoint help.

No shots of the actual site. That would be crazy. :-D
