Viewing child pornography without the intention to do so

[Spiderman]

Isn't child pornography something a person can accidentally run into if they are frequently viewing porn online? Being busted for child pronography makes a person a registered sex offender. It's sad if the person just accidentally stumbled across it while surfing. I'm assuming such things happen.

That is a thorny question. There is one obvious solution - encourage people to read this forum to improve their minds rather than look for short-lived physical stimulation

Cheers!

It could happen.
My business once had a server that was commandeered without my
knowledge to dispense middle-eastern porn (according to my computer
guy). Who knows what else lurks in those mysterious drives, eh.

Here in America, it is illegal and saving one of those images to your computer can ruin your life. Such exploitation of children is despicable. Stay away from it!

If one should stumble upon online child porn, he should anonymously report the illegal porn website to the FBI.

Here's the website to the FBI's Minneapolis Regional field office. Minneapolis — FBI

As soon as the child porn image has been reported to the proper authorities, the informant of child porn should be imagining the image of the long cool woman in a black dress instead of any other recent imagery in his mind.

It's actually very hard to come across. Sure, there's times when you're on a legal porn site and someone uploaded material featuring a minor, say a 17 year old. That can happen. But porn of a prepubescent child? That's difficult to come across. It's mostly on the dark web and you need specific software and a unique URL (that frequently changes) to access child porn sites. So I'd say the chances of stumbling across that are pretty slim. If you do and it's not on the dark web, report it to the site and maybe the authorities.

well obviously if you ask the chief police investigator in your area what they got for a case, and they say nothing, Then there's some joke about traitor family, community, zaps and internet collections, then just go back say, you guys aren't going to be bothered by online prostitution that's anonymous on social media and you don't have this person's case file.

I think pornography is terrible and I regret viewing it on occasion, but I swear I've seen girls on Google images that look like they were 14 or 15

It is possible to accidentally have porn...of whatever nature...on your computer. However, the 'authorities' will be able to tell whether it is on there 'accidentally' or not by what you actually do with it.

If you immediately delete it and inform the IT guys (or your server or whoever...including the cops if it's nasty enough) about it, no problem.

However, it's highly unlikely that you will be believed about the accidental nature of the stuff if you have a bunch of videos/pics, obtained over weeks or months, and a history of viewing them...and NOT getting upset at their presence. ONE is accidental. Perhaps two. A well organized library with a long viewing history? Not so much.

If you're on the regular sites, it's nigh-on impossible; porn companies know these laws even better than the average person and have an extremely high vested interest in making sure the feds don't have a reason to come kicking the door in. One does not simply "accidentally" find child porn.

That’s a fetish, I think Americans call it “barely legal” or something. But questionable ethics aside, pretty sure even the really young looking models are of age, lest the company is investigated by relevant law authorities.
Accidentally coming across legitimate child pornography is possible, but it’s highly unlikely. It’s literally not in the business interests of such porn sites. Maybe on highly questionable chat roulette type programs it’s easier to “accidentally find.” But those are cesspits.

Pornography serves a purpose, and viewing it is a completely natural instinct (no matter what religion tells you) so no regrets.

For the Google images pics you will find they are of legal age but made up to look younger. Google want to stay in the law, pics like that will have been reported to them many times, it is in their legal interest to check.
For some odd reason it us a fetish enjoyed by some, one i could do without.

However true child porn is illegal for a reason. Should anyone come across such images on their surfing travels take the URL, close the page and report it to both the website (who may or may not know) and to the authorities. Next, clear you cache and browsing history, you dont want that sort of stuff on your computer.
