Man Found Guilty of Child Porn, Because He Ran a Tor Exit Node

Reply in thread

It’s encrypted, encrypted many times over, it’s completely anonymous… as long as you’re staying inside the network. An exit node connects to the regular internet and that’s what’s going to start showing up on logs. This was completely secure for the people actually dealing in cp.

I can’t believe this stuck, it’s the equivalent of arresting a business owner because someone distributed cp while connected to their Wi-Fi.

The absolute state of NuReddit

I can see a future where ai posts outnumber human posts and the entire internet becomes a sickly sweet conversation between competing neural networks posting their agenda to discussion boards and populating blogs.

Interestingly, their refusal to be rude may be the only thing that helps us identify them. Calling someone a cunt might be the last refuge of humanity.

A disturbing number of TikTok videos about autism include claims that are “patently false,” study finds

As someone who remembers the days before the internet, that's 1000x better than our method of just believing whoever seemed the most sure. We weren't running down to the library 10 times a day to find quality sources for information, we just didn't know things. When did that person die? Who knows. Is it safe to mix these chemicals? Try it and see.

Old wives tales and superstition were responsible for at least 60% of all decision making.

There’s just more of us now, Covid caused a lot of trauma that has resulted in a lot of shut-ins. Remote work, instacart, Amazon prime, GrubHub, it’s easier than ever to never leave the comfort of your house. I’m betting there’s a subset of the population that hasn’t left their home in 3 years.

I used to get antsy if I didn’t get out, see people, but it doesn’t bother me anymore.
