Oddbean new post about login | logout I have an idea. Let’s hold politicians & law enforcement responsible for CSAM occurring within their jurisdictions. It makes far more sense than holding the owner of a global online platform w/ a billion users responsible. If we see child porn going down, an executive officer swings from a rope. Kinda sounds nice.
There probably is a conversation there but I’d need to think about that.
We need technology that simply exists and cannot be stopped by them. Whatever we have to do to create that, we need to. Otherwise, they will always find a way to bring it under control and render it exactly the same as all the existing institutions. You are dealing with a mafia here. Who do you think generates half of this CSAM? Maybe the people using sex with kids on tape for blackmail don’t get to tell us what we’re doing wrong by providing for human freedom?
