          Yeah, and the FBI has been doing that for at least 7 years now, to catch some pretty disgusting criminals

          The outrage…

            The outrage comes from the fact that the FBI had to literally distribute that kind of content in order to catch people, and it kind of borders on entrapment.

            I don’t have any sympathy for these predators. I’m glad they got locked away. I just think the FBI is using unconstitutional means to do so

              That’s not my understanding of “entrapment”. It needs to coerce somebody into something they otherwise would not do.

              “Making available” illicit material is not coercive.

                If I remember correctly, it was brought up in court but dismissed. So you’re right there.

              Nah fuck that.

              Number 1 - the world exists outside the USA and a lot of those fuckers live there.

              And Number 2 - kiddie fiddlers don’t get rights and if you can get them through entrapment the its just as good as any other means.

        The only time I used TOR mode in Brave was to do download some obscure old 32 bit iPhone IPA games which was an onion link

          it means feds run the majority of nodes and would have a high chance of being able to easily identify users.

          Which is the case.
