Official policy for sharing research into purveyors of pedo porn (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Vindicator

First rule of v/pizzagate: We will ban your butt pronto if you directly link to illegal pornographic images of kids

However, that doesn't mean you can't share research about pedo pornographers and organize campaigns to raise public outcry and force service providers to take down sites. Here's how to do so without endangering Voat or fellow voaters:

  • NEVER use the Link button to submit a dangerous url; always make a Discuss post
  • Break any link that leads to CP by adding spaces into the url so that users must copy and paste it into their browser
  • Precede dangerous urls or those that lead to them with a clear warning in bolded ALL CAPS of what lies beyond and that researchers proceed at their own risk and take proper security precautions.
  • If possible, try to make sure researchers have to click through at least two layers down before encountering actual images
  • Flair your post NSFW
  • Verbally describe the content you have found in enough detail to let other researchers decide how to proceed

As added insurance, mods may flair a post "Potential Security Risk".

Outting these slime and the human turds who protect and fund them is a vital part of our mission, and Voat's anti-censorship commitment make this one of the few forums where documenting that effort is possible. Let's help each other use that power and freedom responsibly.

I’m not finding a specific agency, like the FBI, in the USA, for example. I guess my recommendation is to look locally for any local law enforcement or community watch, and just keep that information handy for when the time comes to report anything. Every community should have someone or some group with involvement in protection against this scum.

Related intel: Seems the Q boards found something horrifying that they posted as a tip after I posted a pedowood info dump. Question being how to warn you guys without putting us in danger.

You can DM me and maybe we can figure something out.

@Honeybee_ could you possibly add an explanation of how to report illegal content to law enforcement? I know this is something you do quite often and I couldn't find a good thread on it in our archives for some reason. I will edit the body of the sticky to include whatever handy material you've got.

Honeybee_ ago

Yes ALWAYS REPORT! I don't know how I feel about broken links, I usually will send a link to a scamstat or whois website instead of actual link, then the responsibility does not lie on you personally. As for reporting please report in this order.

  1. https://www.ic3.gov

  2. http://www.missingkids.com/gethelpnow/cybertipline

  3. Over Seas https://virtualglobaltaskforce.com/report/

  4. INTERPOL/INHOPE (select country and report) http://www.inhope.org/gns/report-here.aspx

  5. Your local police, unless it's a child in your immediate area or you know where they are CALL POLICE FIRST.

For sure... I am not in the US, so I am trying to see what is available. Maybe INTERPOL, and some various orgs. There is a ‘catholic’(mostly ex-Catholics) watchdog group that monitors priests and religious schools that are accused, maybe I can roll that i to a post or contribute to a similar post.

GreenDell, if you could also post it as a Comment in this thread, that would be awesome. I'm trying to organize some of this info we all should know, before the crap hits the fan and this stuff really starts making its way into the public eye. I've added a link to thread to the sidebar and am unstickying it, because we need to have some new stickies. But I will continue to update it as helpful how-to information comes in...as long as I see it. :-)

GreenDell144 ago

I am SOO sorry, friend. I forgot that I assigned this little homework task to myself! I have had a ruf week. I’ll look into it.

OP - the more I thought about this, the more I think that @kevdude and @Crensch need to be aware that you have given instructions for how to hide illegal content within /v/pizzagate content by using non-functional links. Likely the content will be available on search engine results, regardless of the additional spacing. People will absolutely be able to post illegal content in the verse with this procedure.

Vindicator ago

By all means. I consulted with them prior to writing this sticky, but forgot to ping them in the sticky itself.

To be clear, this is not a thread inviting people to post broken links to CP. It is a thread explaining how to Voat allows crowdsourced investigation of those who harm kids.

oftotc ago

As per usual, I don't mind being incorrect. I try not pester yon owners too often.

angry_mob ago

thanks for posting this. i do appreciate the clear guide lines.

oftotc ago

How does posting links to CP have anything whatsoever to do with PG? No one has to ever go to CP on the Internet to spread awareness. This is either a really bad idea, or a reasonably well-planned coup to disrupt the PG investigation.

GreenDell144 ago

I share your concern. There has been speculation about the possibility of leaked photos of elites (the fabled weiner laptop, for example). The potential exposure and red pill value of such images, repulsive as they may be, could prove useful.

Otherwise, it seems the actual illegal images are the stuff of law enforcement, right? Perhaps this is just a precaution. I almost lost my cookies when I followed a report to the worldcorpo site. No porn, just that skippy video, but still...

Vindicator ago

oftotc, investigating the perpetrators, documenting their financial and social networks and reporting them to authorities has always been an important part of this investigation. Mobilizing social networking of our membership to report CP and child exploitation on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram has also been major for us because it often takes many voices to force hosts to take down these creeps.

Examples in the past 24 hours include:

No doubt, and keep up the good work. I think that:

Break any link that leads to CP by adding spaces into the url so that users must copy and paste it into their browser

...is a gateway. One could disguise a content distribution network under the guise of "protecting the children", which should be a familiar tactic to anyone studying these topics. Be skeptical of anyone encouraging you search for data that will expose you and your systems to CP regardless of their publicly stated goals.

People who think this is ok, also be aware that you are enabling the abusers and potentially gestating the next perpetrator. Be careful what you ask for.

Vindicator ago

You do realize that those offering this material on the internet do not want us infiltrating their sites, reporting them to law enforcement and web hosts. They most certainly aren't going to post here leading us to themselves.
