Pomf clone owner charged with distributing CP for simply running a file hosting site. This could set precedent in the EU for file hosts. The owner (lesderid) provided constant transparency reports and showed that he was eager and willing to remove illegal content. Please spread this around to other mediums and donate to protect free speech and stop oppressive governments from identifying users who may disagree with their tyrannical actions.

Copied and pasted from the provided link:

On 31 May 2017, the Belgian regional police conducted a search and seizure at my dorm. Four police officers stormed into my room, cuffed me, and started opening my drawers and closets. I was told a similar search was being conducted at my parents' home at the same time.

They assumed I knew why this was going on, and when I said I did not, I was served a search warrant. An investigating judge had ordered an investigation and search under the suspicion of possession and distribution of "child pornography".

After being confused for a second, I realised someone must have abused one of my Pomf clones (file hosting services) by uploading and distributing child abuse material.

They confiscated nearly all my electronics (including desktop computers, laptops, phones, tablet, old hard drives, etc.), and also my onaholes (including packaging) and butt plug (no homo).

I was brought to the police station and questioned, and they told me that, indeed, child abuse material had been found on one of my Pomf clones (https://cocaine.ninja), and had been reported to them by INTERPOL (wew).

I was told that my onaholes (fleshlight-like sex toys I had in my dorm room) and hentai might be illegal under a new Belgian law (which took effect in 2016, I believe).

The "best" I've found is the Wikipedia page on Legality of Child pornography.

If I was you, I wouldn't stake my anal chastity on someone else's compilation though. The laws of many countries can be officially found online and in an English translation these days. Read them yourself.

Alternatively, go to Eastern Europe where the cops really don't give much of a shit.

Because a lot of times there is no report option and the host providers can take weeks to remove the content (especially if there is a report button or an email direction to contact.) The INTERPOL also takes a lot of time to act, so the files must've been there for months for them to even care.

And yes, I've reported several sites with CP and have found that most of the time they are still up and running. Most of the time they just remove the content I reported, even when there's entire tags alluding to child porn or other illegal content.

EUfag here.

On the EU child sexual related crimes are laws are based on the framework CNS 2009/0049 [0].

According to it lolis might be considered CP if you think they're "realistic images of a non-existent child OR if they APPEAR to be a child" (so no those Remilia doujins won't save you). The funny thing is that as far as I'm aware this means that underage models, junior idols and so on are not CP.

I don't know how each individual country implements those laws, I know mine considers "cartoons, manga and similar depictions" as non-realistic.

Still, as >>907287 said I wouldn't want to be some mudslime pet on prison or it becoming public, and given that many [1] EU countries have 5th ammendment-like provisions that DON'T force a prosecuted person to reveal encryption keys, the solution is obvious.

I personally wouldn't risk having physical copies of loli manga and would only have a loli onahole if I personally bought it in Japan after disposing of the box.

No, neither can be remotely tackled. all you can do is block known content (anything that matches a signature or heuristics, which means false positives, even signatures can mean false positives if they are anything other than a strong unbroken cryptographic hash).

Distribution of child pornography, of three child pornographic videos [real child pornography uploaded by an anonymous user],

Possession of child pornography, for child pornographic drawings [hentai],

Possession of child pornography, for sex toys in the shape of childlike genitalia [onaholes, fleshlight-like sex toys].

Don't prosecutors try to throw in a bunch of bullshit charges which end up getting thrown out usually?

I think there are many examples of people being charged with things related to "drawn child pornography", but that usually only happens when the person has real child pornography. Furthermore, I think the charges are thrown out once they're sure that the person will be convicted of child pornography since they don't care enough. This seems more like bureaucracy being a bitch, and wouldn't have happened without the real child pornography charges.

They will probably ask him to help find out who did, but it'll depend on whether the pomf clone he used maintains a log. It might be visible there who did upload it.

He probably can't be prosecuted for the fleshlights. as >>907356 said, it has to be realistic to count, which it obviously isn't.

The hentai might be a bit icky, but it is also one of those laws that just can't be enforced as it can be found anywhere and everywhere on the internet.

Get a lawyer that is not too expensive but knows enough about pedo law. As long as he is somewhat specialized, you should be fine. Plus it helps with the motherfUCKING PAPERWORK

>>907875

They don't need to prove that it is there, they probably just downloaded it from there, which should count as "caught in the act" of distributing. (even though no intent)

That is too cute.

Bold statements. You must be a licensed attorney in Belgium. Right?

Intent does not confirm guilt. The act and the evidence thereof do.

It's just general observations. The way unenforceable laws are treated might be different everywhere, but in the country above them it's a thing that if a law is not taken seriously by many, it's not something you can really blame someone for breaking then.

I gave a valid explanation of the fleshlight statements based on earlier information in the thread.

The shit about intent and guilt I learned in a webcomic on US law, but many of the same principles such as those apply in other western countries.

>The shit about intent and guilt I learned in a webcomic on US law

Yes, I've heard that law schools are moving to the webcomic format for legal education. During their next session, the Supreme Court of the United States will be issuing all of their decisions in webcomic format only, and prospective attorneys are taking art classes and buying Wacom tablets so they can pass their bar exams. It's an exciting time.

Of course, Belgium and the U.S. are basically the same, so no problem there. In fact, if you take the letter 'u' from Belgium, and then take the 'l' and bend it twice so it's shaped like an 's', you can spell US from Belgium. Case fucking closed, mon ami.

>The way unenforceable laws are treated might be different everywhere,

Are you sure? I mean, if the Belgian and U.S. legal systems are basically the same...

>but in the country above

I have to admit that I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this. Is there a country floating above Belgium? I've never heard of this, but I'd like to know more. What is the country called, and how is it suspended above Belgium? How does Belgium receive sunlight?

Between your incisive legal analysis and the geographical revelations you're laying on me, I feel like my mind is opening to all kinds of new possibilities. Teach me more, senpai.

Mens Rea can be used as evidence. In the case of distribution of cp only Mens Rea is required but Actus Rea isn't enough to be used as evidence alone. - end lawyer larp -

It literally can. "Retarded" means simply "delayed," "slowed." "FLOSS" is a literally retarded acronym because it is behind the times, insufficient advancement-wise, inadequate with respect to present standards.

If you want to maintain neutrality between Free Software and Open Source without refering to the act of flossing, use LFOSS, short for Libre, Free, and Open Source S'oftware.

You keep using that word, but it doesn't mean what you think it means. Referring to acronyms as "behind the times" is in itself a figure of speech.

>>913035

EVERY word is a figure of speech. Etymologically speaking, every word orginally meant something else than what it has become lexicalized to mean at present. The important thing is, the adjective "retarded" properly describes the acronym "FLOSS" both in the present, more-figurative "it is stupid" sense and in the dated, less-figurative "it is obsolete" sense.

Simply put, the word "literally" applies as soon as we step back a rung or two on the etymological ladder.

>EVERY word is a figure of speech.

This is irrelevant and, if granted, only makes you inconsistent, since there would be no point in calling anything "literally" anything else. I'll not address you further.

Being figurative is a property like having temperature. Every(word, thing) does it; it is a matter of degree.
