A lot of the data is composed of child abuse videos though, not evidence the videos existed, the videos themselves, so in that regard I do expect and hope they're never publicly released.
But yes, of course, everything else was withheld or censored just to protect the abusers, and those do need to come out, we just don't know the exact ratio or numbers as being shared by this article.
If the elites are in these videos they need to be released. People need to see these people doing the crimes to fully wake up no matter how horrible that is. It’s the only way the victims will have a chance of justice sadly.
You're defending the release and that "people need to see" videos of children being raped? Are you clinically insane? No, nobody needs to see anything, and the victim's suffering aren't a stage for your vengeance.
The fact they're confirmed to exist, audited by closed door experts and trialed through a legal system is all that would suffice in a working society. Now, is the US a good example of a functional country? No, not at all, but "releasing the videos" does nothing.
Again, we already know they're pedophiles, releasing the names is enough, you don't need to watch the actual videos. If people aren't revolting now, it's not from a lack of explicit CSAM recordings.
It's bizarre I even have to explain this.
You don't have to show the CSAM. You can block that out and release the perpetrators faces.
Agreed. But considering how that was my point from the very start, I'm unsure what you'd expect me to reply to that.
Your original comment said you hope they never get released. I am saying redact the CSAM and release them. If that's what you meant originally, then it's certainly not clear.
In direct reference to "terabytes of child abuse videos" yes, I hope they never get released. This is different than "show the faces and names of the criminals". Not sure how one could struggle with such a simple sentence.
Most of the people on this platform don't, but given the continued inaction, lack of accountability, and even defense of those accused, it seems we need something to shock the system. The current level of moral outrage is not high enough or universal enough to break past the walls of power.
And your proposed solution is releasing terabytes of child rape online for the masses?
Please, never become a candidate for any position where you have any decision making responsibility whatsoever, in your life.
Nothing else seems to be able to pierce the MAGA bubble. This is obviously the psychological nuclear option. It’s not a good option. Do you have any proposals on what else might work to get through?
Hey friend, the rebellion is happening and it’s focused on peaceful means as a priority. Minneapolis has been leading the way here.
If you’re not from American you should probably shut up. The system here is clearly in trouble but it’s not over yet.
Kadu is not American. He just wrote:
But here he openly mischaracterizes your desire to see the video evidence released as equivalent to wanting to see it released UNREDACTED, swirls it around with other non sequiturs and imagined bullshit, then tops it with how Americans
and of course the evergreen
They never change, lol.
You're commenting that you want terabytes of child porn published for the public, and doubling down that this is "the only way".
Me? Shut up?
I’m not doubling down, I’m asking you if you have better ideas. But you’re stuck in your rage.
Can you try something else? I don’t think this is the only way, and I’d love to hear other opinions not just reactions.
I’m telling you to shut up about encouraging violence as the only option.
