The Feds Are Dropping Child Porn Cases Instead of Revealing Info on Their Surveillance Systems

Human Rights Watch and other groups say these systems draw serious concerns.

The Department of Justice has been dismissing child pornography cases in order to not reveal information about the software programs used as the basis for the charges.

An array of cases suggest serious problems with the tech tools used by federal authorities. But the private entities who developed these tools won't submit them for independent inspection or hand over hardly any information about how they work, their error rates, or other critical information. As a result, potentially innocent people are being smeared as pedophiles and prosecuted as child porn collectors, while potentially guilty people are going free so these companies can protect "trade secrets."

  1. I once took a tactical course from a man who said that if one day he was arrested don't be surprised if they didn't find 'goat porn' on his computer.

    It is a truly sad day when you realize your government is no longer the home of honesty, integrity, or anything resembling them. But again, what else would you expect from an entity that has banned the basis for it's existence, the word of God. Something about sowing the wind I believe.

    Y'all have a nice day.
