This, No such thing as true freedom. If one man is free to do whatever he wants then it's likely that the actions could restrict another man's freedom.

All or nothing policies are never a good thing anyway.

It seems people are completely misconstruing this post when all I meant was that all businesses, especially illegal ones, are entirely run based on making profits, so I'm going to edit this out.

Kidnapping, drugs, bribery, assassinations, and the selling of women are also businesses.

Good job Anon. If there's anything the internet and the users thereof need right now, it's some good PR.

Flonne, CP isn't a legitimate business. I'm looking through the records of business in the United States and none of them list themselves as "CP photographers". I can't speak internationally but I'm pretty sure they probably have the same records

This happened several months ago, but I haven't seen any information on a backlash(or any reaction) resulting from it.

I saw this thread I just KNEW this would happen. From post #1 I was thinking:
"I wanna see Flonne's response, and then Sarah's reaction."
I love you guys.

A major argument against the continued growth and use of TOR was it being a boon to pedophiles, assassins, and so forth. If you want anarchy, you have to prepare to eliminate its worst barnacles, or else society at large will reject it.
This makes TOR more palatable to people who are pro-anonymity but anti-things-everyone-hates.
Assassins are kinda cool though.

Things turned out to have taken a wrong turn.

Sure LulzSec isn't more representative of anon than goatse is. This incident might just undo all that positive image the public might have had of the internet tough guys.
