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.

@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.

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. :-)
