Aussie Data Compromised in CSA Cases

[Jim Burton]

First Thoughts:

If there weren't enough reasons to think twice about reporting CSA, here is a final reason. You risk losing a decade of your and your family's life to punish someone for a few years service.

Legal reform is now needed to get consensual crimes out of the court, and go after the rapists and exploiters.

Is it bad that I don't exactly feel bad for Australia in this instance?

They're fucking mental with anti-"CSAM" laws there that a fictional story, where if it occurred in real life it would be legal, was classified as "production, distribution, and possession of CSAM"?

It's always good when a bureaucracy collapses under its own weight, and people are forced to contemplate what needs to be done for it to work efficiently. Usually people will have to suffer before they sit up and take notice.

Like they'll ever change for the better, this will only make them lock down the laws even further to "protect the children". They are another lost cause.
