@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku haven’t you raped a 14 year old?

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku Go search PACER or just read 18 U.S.C. § 1466A again. It didn’t expire in 2013. The fact that you personally haven’t seen recent headlines doesn’t repeal a federal statute

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku i don’t see how this is relevant to our debate.

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku I’m not your research assistant. The law is clear, convictions have happened, and the DOJ page still exists.

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku yeah you’ve just run out of arguments. hey isn’t this you?

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku The absence of a giant “FBI shuts down e621” headline doesn’t mean the law doesn’t apply. It means enforcement prioritizes real life CP and big distributors first.

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku Many of them self-censor extreme content or move to sketchy hosts in other countries precisely because of this. Individual artists and users have also been charged — the sites themselves often survive by staying decentralized or offshore, but the content is still illegal

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku Big lolicon-focused sites and archives regularly get hit with payment processor bans (PayPal, Patreon, etc.), hosting terminations, and domain seizures because banks and US-based companies don’t want the legal risk of hosting/distributing material that can violate §1466A.

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku But when they do target someone with a fat lolicon folder, §1466A is there and ready. The ‘the site is still online so it’s fine’ argument is as dumb as saying torrent sites make copyright law fake.

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku The fact that a site is still up doesn’t mean its content is legal. Same reason pirate movie sites, dark web markets, and real CP forums exist for years until they don’t. Nobody is rounding up every downloader.

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku They survive by having massive gray-area enforcement, takedown requests, payment processor issues, and hosting in places with weaker laws. Individual users still get fucked when law enforcement cares (reports, device searches, etc.).

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku Your entire argument is now “I personally haven’t heard of recent cases, therefore the law is dead.” That’s not how reality works. The law is still on the books, still cited by the DOJ, and still carries real prison time.

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku The Department of Justice doesn’t issue a press release every single time someone pleads to it — especially when it’s part of a larger plea deal or not high-profile. But the statute is still actively used.

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku There have been prosecutions and convictions under §1466A for obscene cartoons after 2012. The Christian Bee case isn’t some lone exception that magically stopped existing after that year.

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku The internet is huge. There are thousands of illegal websites for all kinds of shit (drugs, stolen data, real CP, etc.) that stay up until they get prioritized.

[Nat @Nathaniel_Mmmm]

@tavrosdog @spelltomb @gfzuku Yes, exactly like how massive amounts of real child pornography used to (and sometimes still does) sit on shady websites until law enforcement actually targets them.
