BBC claims x, OF asks for evidence so they can remove the content, BBS refuses. People are acting like this stuff is just out there but why wouldn't you help them so they could remove the content?
All this ever gets brought up as is an excuse to put more restrictions on the Internet in the guise of fighting things like illegal pornographic content.

Right? How can they remove it if they don't know about it or where it is?

There have been prior cases, where the person reporting the incident was then charged with possession even though they were doing the right thing by showing authorities

"In addition, the government argued that even if Matthews were a legitimate journalist working on a story, he had no more right under the First Amendment to receive and disseminate illegal images of minors than a reporter would have in buying crack cocaine in pursuit of a story about drugs"
Is the NY Times good enough?

You don't have to have possession of anything to tell someone a username.

This contradicts your claim and refers to copyright not CSA materials.

Name me one. Name me one where the person who reported it was both charged and convicted.

Not really a comparable example. This isn't a guy who spotted child porn on a website and then notified the authorities. This is a guy who was sending out pornographic images of children to other people. He was receiving and distributing.
I imagine it's the distributing part that got him arrested.

Sorry not adding that to my search history. It's common enough you can find your own sources.

Not adding "cases where reporting child porn caused the reporter to be arrested" to your search history? Lmao flimsiest excuse ever. Just admit you made it up because you didn't think you'd get called out. We all know.

Ok fine. Heres some case law of a NEWSPAPER REPORTER reporting on child pornography ONLINE and was subsequently charged for possession. Go fuck yourself.

haha love the downvote after you got what you asked for

But he admitted he traded over 150 images to people online. That is a bit different than your idea you are trying to pass of "he only was doing research and report on it!!".
How about you take your own advice and go fuck yourself?
