We have a *advertiser censored* problem. The internet has made watching perverted content accessible to anyone and everyone 24/7. Do we really have a constitutionally protect right to read and watch smut? Technology has far outpaced our morality and even our ability to take time to thoughtfully answer such questions. The cat has long ago jumped out of the proverbial bag. What happened to Abby and Libby is an abomination because adult men now have the ability to solicit sexual images from minors without the knowledge of parents/guardians. It has got to stop. Has LE made mistakes in this case? I have no idea because I am not in LE nor am I a lawyer, but I do gather that it is incredibly difficult to hunt down digital trails over many devices over many different applications. I am impressed they have gotten to the point they are at now. If the evidence shows that RA killed Abby and Libby then the state''s obligation is to keep him off the streets so he cannot re-offend. As a society we have large questions to answer as to how we keep the proliferation of *advertiser censored* from generating many more men addicted to *advertiser censored* and many more victims. MOO
You're assuming RA is connected to KK. I don't think so. MOO
And, yes,
itself is constitutionally protected. Although i agree that it is as far as the federal govt goes, in my opinion, the states should be able to decide that matter and regulate. But, SCOTUS has spoken and until it's challenged again, that's their decision and so is legal.
HOWEVER... the CHILD version though is illegal.
What you're pointing to about the solicitation of kids online, well, The IMHO majority of that is not the fault of the government, but the fault of PARENTS.
It's parents' responsibility to regulate their children's access to the outside world and to keep them safe. MOO.
There's no way on this planet I'd let my 13 year old have ANY SM (i have a 13 yr old right now) much less snap chat...just from what I know from my own colleagues and experience with the dangers of that. But I'm a lone bird amongst many of own friends who think that's cruel these days and that it amounts to sheltering my kiddo. I don't care. It's not happening. Most of them do not even monitor their kids devices.
But that's the problem, it seems a great many parents just follow the crowd and I would say they are unaware of the problem, but in my experience, they are very aware. Imo They just don't think it can happen to them. Because their kid is a good kid who would never do anything like that.
So while LE can have all these online stings, watch the dark web until the cows come home, IMO, their jobs will remain difficult as long as parents aren't doing theirs.
MOO but it is no different than if parents just let their kids roam the streets unsupervised at night, with access to the whole wild world. LE'S job would get a lot tougher.
And you know what we'd do? Probably start penalizing the parents. Maybe that's something to be looked into in the online world.
Idj know the answer. But I know what it's not. That's fixing l giving the govt MORE power. IMO.
