Porn Site Gave Federal Agents Free Rein

Frosty Piss writes "The operators of a notorious porn site Free6.com granted federal agents administrative access to the site, giving investigators the ability to monitor traffic and public and private chats in an effort to identify users trading 'a significant amount of child pornography.' Though some bloggers have speculated about whether law enforcement officials have secretly been given administrative access to sites where users have been known to post child pornography (like 4chan), the Free6.com arrangement is apparently the first such compact to be disclosed by investigators."

Good excuse

-"I swear, chief, it's all part of an effort to catch a gang of child pornographers, that's why I've been browsing that site so much"

Now we are slashdotting porn sites. I'm ok with paypal or amazon going down, but loss of porn on the internet could cause serious consequences. If the world goes to war over this, don't say I didn't warn you.

Oh good. I was worried those SEC guys lost their jobs. They just transferred.

Is there a difference? Does anyone really care? This is just my opinion, but the difference between 'retarded, degraded internet trash" and "retarded, degraded, evil internet trash" is purely academic.
