Always a smokescreen to take away your rights. Epstein plead guilty in 2008 to trafficking children to nobody.
Pro tip: The Electronic Frontier Foundation is a non-profit which has been defending your right to privacy for many years. If you shop on Amazon, you can give a portion of the purchase price to EFF. You pay the same amount and daddy bezos gets a few less dollars. Use the affiliate link, not the smile link as smile has been sunsetted: https://www.eff.org/node/58741
Propro tip: Don’t buy from evilcorp and donate those savings directly to the EFF
Agreed. Some people have to shop there for whatever reason. If that’s you, the link is good to use :).
Amazon Smile is discontinued fyi
There’s so much irony in this comment it cured my anemia
Anything and everything that politicians propose to protect children, I am automatically against. It doesn’t matter how good it sounds, if they say anything about protecting children, I’m opposed to it.
This is because they know that ‘protect children’ are magic words that let them get away with almost anything, and that’s genuinely about the only time they say that anyway. Basically nothing the government does is actually to protect children.
We had a recreational marijuana referendum in my state and the opposition signs said, “Save the Children.” From what? I have no idea. Unsurprisingly, the vote failed.
Of course, it really helped that the state legislature sued to halt the referendum on grounds of improper procedure which caused the referendum to be put on the ballot as a special election instead of the mid-terms ballot. The judge dismissed the lawsuit, by the way.
The shit some people will do to stop other people from having a good time.
God, that’s totally depressing, and I totally agree with you.
US keeps taking the flame while EU, Bastion of Rights™, just outright banning encryption.
Different departments. It’s the ‘keep the plebs in line department’ that wants to scan your devices.
Where as the ‘keep the rich giving us money department’ are not actioning the rapist listWish I could add a /s to this.
They’re the same department.
Why would they be? To save taxpayers’ money?
Government:
Maybe if 30% of the population weren’t trying to re-elect one of those people for president it would be easier.
It’s so adorable how many Americans think that the oligarchs they support are different.
LMAO imagine being an apologist for pedophilia and human trafficking and then judging others.
Imagine using straw man arguments when you have no actual point to make.
My point is very clear, if people want Epstein’s list of associates and people who paid him to see justice, then they need to vote accordingly, and definitely NOT for the guy who was good friends with Epstein and visited his island many times.
Everybody on the list should be prosecuted, why aren’t the democrats doing that?
First of all, if a hearing is held in congress and not by the DOJ, then you’re absolutely expecting too much to think anything will be done for justice of past crimes. I don’t think the Senate or House can do anything on this topic other than keep the government funded. Historically, Congress has never shown the capacity to prosecute outside of changing how laws are enforced, which is moot because everything Epstein did is already illegal.
Second, I assure you there are active investigations to many of the names in the list, but not much incriminating evidence was found for the more than a thousand people he had some form of contact with over the last couple of years due to their discreet methods of conducting business. A lot of relevant court documents only recently became unsealed since trials started in 2016. Many new contacts were revealed at the end of the Virgin Islands Civil Lawsuit as well. Ghislaine Maxwell got 20 years, Sarah Kellen could be next as Federal Judges have expressed interest in charging her as early as the conclusion of the Maxwell trials in January 2022, JP Morgan have spent 13.8 Million USD on legal fees in the case and will pay 290 Million in reparations for facilitating the financial side of Epstein’s business, Deutsche Bank will pay 75 Million, etc. To claim that nothing has happened and nothing is being done is ignorance.
As much as some people would love to blame and execute Bill Clinton, for example, all he ever did was borrow the man’s plan on a trip to various charity medical sites across Africa that Epstein was unrelated to. So then where do you draw the line? Epstein made it his business to go to parties and shake hands with the influential. He disguised himself as a wealthy venture capitalist for over 2 decades before being outed as a trafficker.
In fact, almost half of Maxwell’s charges were dropped because there wasn’t enough concrete evidence and some of the charges overlapped with a previous conviction where they were granted immunity in a plea deal for state level charges. That’s how hard it is to get a conviction for a crime with only witness testimony. It’s like pulling nails. But it can be done.
you put so much work into your apologia there
What the hell would stop the government from just putting CSAM onto the phones of political rivals and upstarts to get them jailed without question?
And child molesters will run away scot-free on account of all this.
Isn’t there anyone who will stop the dirty child molesters without wanting power in return? Anyone?
Anyone who will stop the government?
Anybody?
Or Maxwell’s client list…
I’m out of the loop, what’s this?
The gal that recruited and ran girls under Epstein’s racket had a book of clients that turned up in evidence, and naturally the government isn’t going after a single one of them because they’re “special” aka rich and powerful
Sad

Remember: There is no safe backdoor. There is no “only for pedos and terrorists”. It’s private or not. Simple as that.
Hey we’re only going to ban perverted and dangerous stuff, do you really want to protect that? What will people think if you’re trying to protect people like that?
Great! Good to have you on board, give me a second to delete all the perverted websites that don’t have strong enough moderation, yes that’s anyone who doesn’t use our government sanctioned AI moderator… And I’m getting rid of all the terrorist stuff, those awful people trying to recruit people into their gangs so they can get what they want by using threats - like unions and anyone protesting me…
