Illegal Websites

Cripes. I remember downloading that on the old 2400 baud modem back in the "pre Web" days. Then kept seeing it used as court evidence to convict people. WTF? Every bored teenager downloaded it. Doesn't make us all terrorists.

Thermite, FTW!

Anarchist cookbook had some great recipes in it. Used a few to have some great guerilla fun in the old days... Cooked up some great anarchy!

This gets me going... How on earth is something like this allowed?

Hello, mister. You're funny!

But surely the censor has a role in preventing child porn.

Yeah that's how it starts. The problem with this philosophy is it sets a precedent to begin filtering content. Before you know it KB is taken down because some politician doesn't like some of the comments posted on here. What I like about the internet is you don't have anyone dictating (well unless you live in China or likewise) the content you can make up your own mind what you want to block/filter.

Instead of making up laws for ISPs to filter childporn and try and have things like p2p, usenet banned how about instead doing something useful and focus all attention on actually locking the creeps up who produce childporn?

This man's on the money.

Child porn is already illegal -- it's illegal to possess, produce, whatever. So why do we need to censor bits of the internet (which is not only hopelessly difficult, China's Great Firewall is not very effective -- but also very problematic in the sense you've mentioned above), when it's already taken care of under a different set of laws?

The internet is a global resource. It transcends all sorts of political and legal boundaries. Saying things like `how is this stuff allowed on there' is patently ridiculous and laughable -- and shows a profound ignorance of the whole point of the network.

Quoted for truth.

I say I laugh, but the reality is, I am quite disturbed by the way that people feel free to spout off about how things 'shouldn't be allowed'.

The automatic dependence on some hoped-for but unidentified authority is troubling.

Yeah, it's an unpleasant feeling, isn't it?

Howdy guys,

Okay, now we all want to know about how to secure our bikes, obviously. So I'm googling ways to secure a motorcycle, trying different ways to say it (how to stop motorcycle theft, motorcycle theft, etc), and here rolls on a dreadful site...

r********s.com (I won't release the website name because I wish not to promote such a thing)

This gets me going... How on earth is something like this allowed? It contains COUNTLESS shoplifting information... hijacking... hotwiring, YOU NAME IT!

Isn't there a reason why there are the "Super awesome look-a-meee I'm an FBI agent put your hand in the air or our tele-electic supersonic system machines will make you do it"?

And coming to think of it, this sort of website/information is easily viewable by the younger generation (look how I found it!), which can lead them into all sorts of trouble which would wreck their whole lives!


It's like a bible for law breakers!

Shocked, unimpressed, disappointed.

its not datastronghold.com is it?

Yet it's been around since God created Adam.
