Who said anything about the FBI downloading bots?
And did you read the article?
They get a warrant to come knock on your door for the attempt at downloading kiddie porn, BUT HOW DO THE VERIFY WHO DID THE DOWNLOADING?
I say again: HOW DO THEY VERIFY WHO DID THE DOWNLOADING?
Here is a hint: There is NO WAY TO TELL!
Now do you see the problem? Someone can spoof a system so it looks like "Johnny Normal Citizen" is doing the downloading but it is actually a hacker doing the misdeed.
But with the above new program in place if such is the case then its Johnny Normal Citizen's door who gets knocked on and his computer's confiscated.
THEY DON'T. They don't use the downloading as evidence of a crime. It won't hold up in court. The perverts will not stop at just clicking the link. They will eventually hand the FBI the evidence to convict them. Geez, you people need to get out more. The FBI is not going to arrest everyone who clicks on a link and they don't have an infinite amount of agents watching every download on the internet.
