I HATE this so much. It's never just old men who like teenage girls..it's always something truly depraved like toddlers and bondage...
And then it's even sicker...they carry this crap on their phones..in public...
Which makes you wonder what the hell is on their laptops and their desktops????
Absolutely disgusting. When can we bring back firing lines?
Don't forget using GOVERNMENT computers to access/distribute! What the actual fuck?!
This isn't even the first time that part has happened either. I guess certain gov employees can get away with it on the basis of "confidentiality" but how the hell can't an IT dept. monitor for this kind of trace activity? Maybe they do and just cover, who knows.
IT departments shouldn't become the Gestapo just because there's one sicko out there. Not to mention 'equipment' can mean laptops or cell phones that would be very hard to monitor beyond physically confiscating them and going through them. Treating everyone like a pervert shouldn't become the norm.
This isn't what I was proposing and you're right; there's no way that ends well.
I suppose I was taken by unpleasant surprise that one of the most egregious crimes one can commit on the net can happen using the equipment/infrastructure of a public servant without anyone noticing.
