I don't know what is worse Dogecoin and all that BS, or FBI that is on purpose to become a bad actor...
It's called a honeypot. They even ran CP servers in the past (after taking them over from the actual admins, in order to unmask the users).
Agreed honeypots are maybe a good thing.
You can also run honeypots.. Even at home, if you can configure your VM and network securely. Like this: https://github.com/telekom-security/tpotce
You could lurk users/bots into hacking your honeypot and then report it to let's say: https://www.abuseipdb.com/
Do a cop bribe honeypot next ! Ah, only fake crimes eh?
I really don't think CSAM is a fake crime, but we can't all be libertarians.
What does this have to do with libertarianism?
I'm a libertarian, and I think honeypots are a fantastic idea! It makes enforcement of the law compatible with individual privacy, since the only data the agency would get is from people who willingly offer it. I may disagree with you on the definition of CSAM (e.g. pictures of actual kids vs AI-gen and human drawn images), but I absolutely think honeypots are the right way for police to enforce the law.
You'll have to open your eyes, how can you even believe this overused malarkey. This is just a blunt political assassination instrument. We invented it to kill the church, and it was funny. Fuck the church. But you've lost the plot if you think 1% of 1% of these supposed kids even exist. It's largely a fabrication to eliminate inconvenient persons and send them to the slave pits. It's a well oiled, if overused kompromat machine to keep the elites in check.
Can we please just nuke Russia ASAP so I can get the MAD ending I was promised to this circus while growing up.
Agent 1: We just nabbed a gang of child abusers!
Agent 2: We found out your MAGA uncle is a really bad "investor".
I feel like Agent 1 is far more worthwhile.
They're both worthwhile. Agent 2 is more like "We found out your uncle was pumping a security by making fraudulent claims in order to dump it later and screw them all over."
Do you think the FBI only has one investigation open at a time?
