Then why mention it?
Abusers have no credibility, they lost that when they chose to abuse another human. I was abused, haven't abused anyone.
Because the people watching child porn didn't make the child porn anymore than people watching sensationalized murder on TV are guilty of murder.
And that comment originally was addressed at those here calling for their slow death behind it, why I said, should Germany bring back the camps?

With TOR, doesn't the person who controls the nodes control the data or something like that? I use it every day, but can't for the life of me remember.

This is one dark web site of many. 87K users but it's only been up since the end of 2016 according to the article. That's little more than half a year it's been around and 87K users navigated the dark web and signed up. That's insane.
So one operator is found and arrested and another will pop up in his place within days. It's like the drug trade. Take out one seller and they're replaced immediately.

The attitude seems to scale out as well. If you have children you will have certainly noticed the disconnect in many cases where other adults interact with children without much consideration of the child's parents where there should be. Coaches calling and asking for your child without even acknowledging the parent ect, building relationships excluding the parent at inappropriate ages or without the motions to vet themselves with the parents.

In my opinion, the statistics we have regarding the prevalence of pedophilia in our society is grossly inaccurate.
Quite How on earth can these children recover from the traumas and abuse they've suffered? I have to say, can they ever function again in a "normal" society? Wouldn't it be nice if we could re-boot and erase? The sheer number of children that go missing in all countries every year is staggering. If these children were simply being murdered then the wilderness would by now be strewn with bodies but I think its clear they are being taken for one reason only and that is sex.

I think only the first node knows the user's IP address, and only the last node knows what site the user is looking at, but there are ways to find more about the users.
Someone running an exit node can see the unencrypted data, like user names.

Theres a conspiracy that Tor has a backdoor used by the CIA. Probably just a rumour to prevent people diving in to something thats unpolicable... who knows whats true?

Personally I think those willingly accessing or in possession of child pornography, unless they have a very good excuse should be hanged no more than 72 hours after their trial, no appeal..
