it's not me. the op of the rat image commented below saying they didn't know how those other images got there either.

You need to save the URL (sick as it is) and forward that to the authorities, without it they will have a hard time finding it.

i guess if the crisis is over, the thread can be closed.

just wanted to warn y'all. i'm gonna go curl up in bed and wait to die i think.

With those pictures you saved ehhh?... wink wink nudge nudge...

"the worst thing I've seen in my life"

And it wouldn't be wrong to say that.

[shadowmouse]

You are not incriminating yourself since those pictures you where browsing whre supposed to be legal.

Now that you have the edgy out of your system, go back and read what I wrote. Did I use the word incriminate? Nope, I didn't.

I said that Derp might end up as a witness, that's stressful for many people. I said that the computer's hard drive *might* end up as evidence. Again, many people might find it inconvenient for their hard drive to be in an evidence locker. It isn't my business what else might be on that drive, but someone would be going over the whole thing. While I doubt Derp has plans to commit tax fraud for example, there are potentially things on a person's hard drive that would be embarrassing to have to explain in court.

How would they treat movies or series downloaded through torrents?

[Karlz0rz]

There is definitely something going on with imgur today. Hopefully they fix it soon!

[derpkitteh]

Maybe but people are overreacting over photos... it's weird.

p.s. I can understand the complaint itself about imgur which is perfectly fine but then the OP comment on the images themselves and overreacting.

i don't feel like it's an overreaction. but maybe it is, idk.

i just felt horribly disgusted and didn't know what to do with myself. now i'm feeling really just drained emotionally and need to lay down.

It really depends on what level the case is going to be tried at. The prosecution usually has fairly wide discretion.

Where it gets tricky is the defense trying to raise reasonable doubt. "Well, Derp, you say you saw bad things, but why are you sure my client had anything to do with that? You had 1 TB of anime and hentai on your hard drive. Maybe you downloaded some of that. How do you know that you didn't pick up malware browsing that kind of site?" That can be rough for the witness, even when you try to prepare them. Every now and then the witness will snap and get snarky under examination. "Oh, whatever, whatever you say, you're going to just keep asking me questions." does not go well and it can be hard to salvage that witness's testimony.

Of course, once something is evidence, it is public information. Sometimes that can become a problem of its own.

none of that shit will happen.

lol i didnt know what to do with myself, so i posted on mmochamp. yep, you seem very concerned.

sad as it is, this site's the only place i really talk to people.

it was like 2am here, and i'm not going to talk to my mom or brother about seeing porn of any type.

[shadowmouse]

Which shows you are a layman and have no idea. You may also want to brush up on the difference between might and will.

You're such an edgy, experienced internet user. I'm so impressed by your ability to be totally unfazed by hardcore pornographic images of children.

There. Did that hit the spot for your ego? Fuck off with this shit, it clearly affected the OP enough for them to react in this way, as it would for most people I imagine.

Its not going to happen, They arnt going to give a shit if some random asshole saw bad shit on a website that got penetrated. They will go after them. Any info they would want would be gleamed from imgur servers not random ass ops computer. This isnt NCIS go back to your armchair you pretend lawyers.

[shadowmouse]

I agree, back to the armchair with you and stop trying to put on airs when talking to a retired attorney. There's no telling where this will end up, but if Derp put in a report it would have put her name on a list of potential witnesses. So far, there is a record that shows she saw certain images and feels harmed by them. That's useful to the prosecution, it's potentially a face they can put on the stand.

Putting in a report is not only wasting her time, but the cops time. If imgur got penetrated and what she says happened actually happened, the fbi will be notified by imgur. They arnt going to ride off of the report of one random ass person seeing random shit.

Just move on with your day. Its not edgy to say that bad shit happens all over the world, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. You accidently saw some bad shit. But not a thing you can do about it. Life goes on.

[Stelio Kontos]

Welp, you heard it here, folks, if one of our resident edgelords like zeta333 says it, it must be fact, regardless of what people actually involved with the law have to say.

[shadowmouse]

Putting in a report is not only wasting her time, but the cops time.

No, somewhere there are hot lines and task forces that get a budget to take care of these things. That means somewhere there is a cop paid to field just this kind of thing, and doing so is doing his job. Fielding reports isn't wasting their time, it's justifying their budget.

Would it have been a waste of Derp's time? That isn't for either of us to say. I answered her specific question about reporting, and gave her information that might be relevant to her choice. It is well within her right to print that out and use it to wrap the kitty poop next time she scoops the box. The catch is, it is her choice to make.

IMGUR has always been the idiocracy of the internet. It's what you get when the userbase consists of mostly 14-15 year olds .
