Look at /r/longtail , supposedly /u/iHaveDamningEvidence has some...damning evidence and proved it by leaking some of the 2GB of CP he got ahold of.

Be very careful at what you look at/posses, there are honey-traps out there. I hope he can release the non-cp stuff soon so we can dig into it.

Calling child porn a "honeytrap" is offensive. Call it what it really is, a legal entrapment.

if viewing the links isn't absolutely required for whatever each of us is researching individually, its safer not to go there.

anyone of us could be the next media target. we've all seen how the media can color a narrative. as soon as we pose a threat some of us will be made examples of.
