Topic: Live in the UK or Wales? Better Blacklist the "rape" Tag

Posted under General

This topic has been locked.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has passed a law banning "Rape Porn" or porn depicting acts of rape, be it videos or images, simulated/fantasy rape or not. I'm not too sure if it applies to furry stuff, but it's probably a good idea to be on the safe side and blacklist the rape tag just in case if you live in the UK or Wales (Scotland has already had this problem it seems) because if you are caught with rape porn, you can face a sentence of 3 years in jail.

More details in these articles here:

So, who decides if the imaginary picture lady is being raped, or if it's just rough sex or bondage?
After all, bondage isn't imaginary or simulated rape, it's completely consensual, if you're doing it right..

As always - politicians. All of them in moral panic mode. Do you really think that they will care about such details?

Rules being made by clueless people, guess that is politics.

If that's gonna happen in UK or Wales, then it will happen here in Australia.

Well there goes my number one fetish.

It looks like this is only a possession charge, though, if that's how it's being enforced. You don't actually have something just because it's stuck in your favorites on e6. As long as it's not saved on your computer in England or whatever

...

Right?

If I get it right, it depends on what is cached by your browser on your disk. If I remember correctly when there was broken thumbnail page needed to be refreshed without using cache to after it was fixed to see the effect - so there is probability that there would be something potentially illegal on your disk even when you are just browsing e621.

P.S.
It would be really useful to have a feature to notify people who just make new forum post about posts made when they were typing.

I don't know how far UK went toward curtailing privacy after terrorism was labeled as a concern, but wouldn't they need to have physical access to your machine to prove this in court? Or are there laws stating that the government can hack anyone's computer to peer at the files?

If we assume that the https that e6 uses is effective, and that agencies haven't managed to slip any spyware onto your computer (which may or may not be illegal anyways therefore not hold up in court to beginwith, atleast in theory), what's the worry?-- Especially if you have your browser set up to wipe cache on exit?

Deep Packet Inspection at the ISP level - mentioned as part of the last, what, two? attempts at getting something like this passed.

Of course, that was when they were aiming it at those nasty pirates...

You may or may not know that deep packet inspection is worthless if the traffic is securely encrypted, making e6 a safe place to look for nonconsensual sex, unless I'm deeply misunderstanding the way that HTTPS actually happens to work.

EDIT: It could be that Certificate Authorities might be set up by the government for the express purpose of identifying forced-sex fetishists via traffic analysis (assumping that ISPs are either A: not anonymizing their clients (which they should) or B: ISPs are willing to surrender signifigant volumes of traffic data which they may or may not always store, or atleast store forever), but it would not be possible even with pricey equipment for them to monitor all traffic via deep inspection (even if it weren't encrypted) so they would have to anticipate that traffic at e6 fairly specifically *is* illicit for surfers within their borders, and then take kicking-doors-down Chris-Hansen style world-saving action.

Its also not real, so you could always pull the "well, I play GTA, doesn't mean I kill hookers and jump off buildings in a motorbike" strategy.
But rape is bad, mmkay?

We were talking about encryption and stuff, dammit. Who the fuck invited you in here, Moon Moon?

If you are offended by the above you are missing out on the greatest meme of all time.

Okay maybe not the greatest necessarily but y'know.

Well, if that dude from the NSA is to be trusted then SSL does have a couple backdoors for the government(s), second, all ISP see the first SSL authentification and are forced to run a filter on all traffic going through their servers.
Also, most ISP's in europe save who had what IP for a month or two in case the police wishes to send party vans and Britain is actually really good at tracking down Childpornography rings around the entire world so I wouldn't be too surprised if the anti rape team didn't get a couple hints and tricks from them.
