Facebook is watching... Again

In Latvia, a man was detained by the police for sending out child pornography. But not ordinary one. It was meme with a child and a text. When he tried to share it with a friend Instagram blocked him, but they had settled everything out. Half a year passed, and he was arrested at his work place for it. Guess who reported him? Instagram! By themselves! The picture was send through personal messeges by the way.

As a result, the case was closed, as he pleaded guilty and repented of his deed. Therefore, the case was not transferred to court, and Janis agreed to a sentence of six months of a trial period.

 

"I told the investigator that in my mother’s album, most likely, there are also photos where I am small and naked, is this allowed?  She replied that if I want, I can report my mother"

 

This man's post in Facebook (sic!) on latvian

Dont use these platforms for anything other than organising a phone call/conversation on a more secure platform like telegram or the real world. They are cracking down on all sorts of things. 1984 is now. Have you seen the state of comedy in china?

This guy: *Shares illegal content on unencrypted platform*

 

Platform that could get in trouble for the illegal content: *reports it*

If y'all want to get away with breaking the law do it on an encrypted platform. It's not that hard. If the authorities find that you shared kiddie pr0n on instagram, and instagram knew and didn't tell them, instagram gets in trouble along with the you. Instagram doesn't want that.

 

BTW OP, being a meme doesn't make child porn OK.  Nothing does. Just making sure you know that.

Based on the quote at the end of the Op it sounds like it may have been of the strictly innocent type where someone sends a picture of their kid to someone else in the family, or whatever when said kid is a bit less covered than they should be. Honestly most family albums probably have a few photos like that. It certainly doesn'tt sound like deliberate child porn.

Fair point, but if I understood that person correctly, it was a boy sunbathing and some phrases about summer. He even didn't noticed the boy was naked firstly

I'm pretty sure this policy is actual law in most countries, even in less moderated websites like 8chan (or 8-kun as it is now).

Well that would thoroughly destroy the integrity of the privacy of the call.

In the modern age, one must assume that ALL of your online life is susceptible, including any time when any internet connected device is near you.

As proof that it really is that bad, here's a 2013 video of the Chief Technical Officer of the Central Intelligence Agency publicly admitting to the world that Facebook and Big Data are nothing more than a great attempt to collect as much data as possible, including data that you never explicitly agreed could be collected.

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

It's all publicly stated in facebook's user t&c and in the permissions their apps request. They can read everything and are installed by default on every android phone. I even have facebook and twitter on my nokia dumb phone! What I have done is block their IPs in pihole for my wifi and disabled mobile data (i dont need it, only use smart phone for GPS). I haven't switched to the open source google maps alternative yet. I only use the GPS for work, coz the work phones are useless, and I don't care if anyone is spying on where i go at work. I drive for a living. Everywhere I go at work gets recorded in multiple ways, and it's the same route everyday. I just don't want anyone stealing my fishing and surfing spots!

Actually depending on the specific situation, circumstances, local legal code, and several other factors it can be. And it will almost allways get you a reduced sentence, Which is what appears to have happened here.

Yes it is.

If you share some innocent image on Facebook and it turns out it has some child porn image embedded in the meta data, do you think you deserve to be sentenced for distributing child porn?

Ignorance, and especially intent, are very large parts of determining sentences.

 

If it is reasonable to assume that he accidentally shared it without realizing what the image was, then I think it's fair that he gets a lower sentence.

 

 

Also, it sounds like this wasn't straight up child porn. It was some image of a child sunbathing. I mean damn, my mom has a ton of photos like that of me at home, and I would not be surprised if most parents do. Is that also child porn?

Not entirely as ignorance doesn't really hold up well in court.  I mean you can play as dumb as you want, but that doesn't mean you didn't break the law or that there is a law in place for exactly this.

That's why I added the "If it is reasonable to assume that he accidentally shared it".

I mean, if it was a kid sunbathing then I don't think his intentions were to distribute child porn. If it was then chances are he would distribute something a bit more explicit. It also depends on the circumstances. It's not as simple as just saying "oops" in court and then you're freed (or should be freed).

All unencrypted platforms have access to private conversations simply because they’re stored on the servers.  

Won’t visit often..

"messages are encrypted"

-Spybook 2013

 

And other hilarious jokes

Facebook/Instagram/etc are encrypted. The problem is that they are not end-to-end encrypted.

How encryption on services like Facebook Messenger works is that your device encrypts the message, it gets sent to Facebook where it gets decrypted. Then Facebook reads the message, encrypts it again, and then sends it to the recipient.

This is how most encryption works, even on sites like this forum. That's why some services talks about "end-to-end encryption", the end to end refers to the fact that the data is never decrypted until it arrives at the intended recipient.

If I was FB and I actually noticed child porn being distributed on my platform, I would report it as well. 

 

I'm not sure what the problem is here if it actually was CP.

 

The dude says it was a meme but without actually seeing the picture used, how do we know the image didn't encroach into CP territory?
