    This is a trap, it will be used as an attempt to say that full release of the files on the schedule demanded by law is impossible.

      It’s a trap to get CSAM on the computers of those doing the good work of ensuring that everything they post gets archived.

      It’s also another criminal infraction of the law created to release them, which stated explicitly that the victims, and only the victims, should be censored. They’re censoring the accused and exposing the victims. Violating the law with knowing intent with the clear goal of asserting immunity to law.

      You can’t go after the shitheads when you can’t show the pictures. Of course, outlets can absolutely put black bars over the victims. I think it’s trap as well as trying to shame and punish the victims for coming forward.

    Imagine being one of the thousands of FBI agents who’s job right now is “do anything you can to protect the pedophile cabal.”

    Of course they’re releasing unredacted compromising photographs of the victims. One of the traffickera’ personal lawyer is overseeing the process so as to ensure as much harm as possible

      yeah… thats the twist in the story, they redacted the faces of the abusers but not the victims. So their story that they needed to do redactions to protect the victims was just proven to be complete horseshite.

      The descriptions I’ve seen said there are at least 40 nude pictures of Epstein victims and that some of the subjects do appear to potentially be teenagers. It sounds like the DOJ released CSAM, yes.

      yes, there was verified csam in multiple portions of the documents resulting in the data hoarders community removing magnet links to torrents of those files. obviously good move by the mods of that community but ridiculous that it’s necessary due to the dojs incompetence.

        Lowkey wonder if that’s the point. I wouldn’t put it past the DOJ to “accidentally” release CSAM in order to go after people who are trying to keep them accountable.

      It seems very much on-brand for this admin to pull a stunt like that.

      I doubt it would work. No court in the world would see that case through.

      But it just takes ONE story being blown up by media to make millions of paranoid, tuned-out people scared to even touch the Epstein files, much less look at them for actual evidence and data.

    The Whitehouse more had the same pinky-promise token age verification of every other porn site and I’m just too goddamn tired to be surprised.

    Is anyone somewhere saying… “Hey that’s me!” Who could then come forward and help America prove anything about those nude photos?

      Victims have already come forward. They have been for years. Their testimonies are ignored, hidden, and they are threatened to keep quiet.

        Yes but publicly and specifically hold up evidence they already know about which would be convincing? Obviously we know, but convincing in court such that it could then be used in a real court, not one that would ignore them.

    They’ll redact Melania’s face, black out bibi’s email and pictures of infant corpses next to raw chicken. But yaaaaaa go ahead and publish the faces of the exploited children.

    Honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if they include actual CP
