In French, we have this saying: 'qui veux tuer son chien l'accuse d'avoir la rage." which could very roughly read as 'when one wishes to kill their dog, they say it's rabid.'

Here we go again. The second anyone mentions pedos it's going to be used as an argument against civil rights, unless it's about the Epstein files in which case it gets buried.

It's so blatant.

Privacy and encryption always goes both ways.

Police actions have taken down many of these CSAM forums already.

Stop trying to undermine the freedom of others and instead put more focus into these police actions.

Yet the clear web’s main browser helps legitimate pedophile networks like Meta, YouTube, Discord, and Roblox flourish.

I’m sure Lloyd Richardson has these child accessible websites banned in Canada… /s
Dan Sexton lives in nonce central, his digressive victimhood can be read instantly.
Gretchen Peters works for nonces in the House; something something Epstein’s list.

Seems like the easiest argument for any group wanting to destroy privacy. But destroy one method and they move to the next. Gotta get the offenders, not just nuke privacy for all just on the off chance you slow the perverts down a little bit.

Yes of course anyone who values privacy must be a pedo. It's not like their are totalitarian regimes popping up around the world that the average citizen needs to be protected from or anything.

Love and praise the Orphan crushing machine lest you be thrown into it in order to protect said crushed orphans.

Think of the children!
Not like that you fucking pervert!

Rip whistleblowers.

Could there be collaborative moderation where node admins volontarily block other nodes or onion services that host CSAM?

I wonder if that's technically possible for a hidden service directory or rendez-vous point to do that. It wouldn't completely kill those services, but may at least make less Tor resources available to them.

The trickiest question may not be technical but organisational. The Tor project probably doesn't want to be in a position to validate/decide block requests. Different entities all over the world would ask for blocks, for many different kind of contents.
