I understand the feeling that we should do whatever is necessary to stop something as evil as child pornography.
But ...
Do you own a smart phone? If you do, a copy of almost everything on it exists in the cloud. That’s how they are able to restore all your data when you change or lose your phone.
Have you ever taken a picture of you infant in the bathtub? I haven’t, but my mother-in-law did. This was years ago and she was from an era when such pictures were common and innocent,
If your mother-in-lae takes such a picture and texts it to you, do you really want Amazon, Google or Microsoft designing algorithm that determines whether to reoprt you to federal authorities?
And if next year, they start monitoring “hate speech”, will our Free Republic posts be reported too?
As I type this from my smart phone, I have a triangle with an exclamation point near the top left corner of my screen, because someone in the tech industry considers Free Republic a “dangerous” site (probably a security certificate thing).
We are not far from a Chinese social credit score system (which they would argue is designed to discourage dangerous anti-social behavior).
It’s a slippery slope.
The real point of the article. Everyone drop your pants for the federal body cavity inspection, because someone somewhere is a potential criminal.
Pedogate is not just a U.S. monstrosity. It is satanic and an international horror show from hell.
Oh come on, Tech Billionaires like kiddie porn too, that is why it is still there.
