Blockchain is retarded

>law enforcement routinely uploads cp on the internet to catch predators
>downloading cp is illegal
>they upload cp on a blockchain for example ethereum
>whole network automatically starts downloading cp
>tens of thousands computer nerds jailed

There only thing you can upload to the ethereum network is smart contracts you fucking idiot

>certain sequences of 1s and 0s are illegal
This is the retarded bit, not the blockchain.

You can easily encode CP into a smart contract

>taking the b8
G8 m8.

>its illegal to put certain older combinations of atoms inside a younger combination of atoms

Smart contracts = code
Code can contain strings of text and numbers
Converting an image to text and numbers and back is possible
You are the idiot here

>it's illegal for me to move a certain combination of atoms (knife) inside another person

>comparing things that seriously negatively affect another's body and conscious experience with things that do not
checked but stupid

Just a matter of time before some GPU starved kid does it.

Then go write one if its so easy. Any pedophile that for that will have to be mentally challenged to do it on a public network

>children aren't negatively effected when someone forces them to do porn

>possessing certain combinations of 1s and 0s forces other people to do porn
Does possessing copies of gore videos also kill people?

How would you feel about being raped as a child and people freely sharing pictures of it?

Not great, but "it upsets people" is not a great reason to ban anything. It's very difficult to quantify and almost unlimited in potential scope.

Nerds would only be jailed if they decode and store the image on purpose.

It could likely be placed on the blockchain in "decoded' form and most statutes say it's illegal to possess anything from which child porn can be retrieved as well.

We disallow many things for exactly that reason.

I probably disagree with those too, don't worry.

You don't mind having strange people coming into your private home to hang out?

>what is supply and demand
please kill yourself you edgy cunt

wait so in usa there is no presumption of innocence and the incitement to crime is legal!!???
wtf
now i understand all those mass shootings, that country is crazy as fuck

Someone directly harassing/threatening/violating/etc. you is not comparable to getting upset over the thought that somewhere in the world, somebody is doing something you don't like.

And that's ignoring the fact that violation of private property rights is a whole other issue.

He's just not hanging out. He's not violent. He's not damaging shit.

Personally I'd rather choose that than having CP of me circulating.

That's incorrect, where do you live? you could have CP on some cache without even knowing because some pedo posted it on some social media web site that you visited (Sup Forums for instance). Your browser could even "delete" those files after a while, but it really would only delete the inode, so someone could still retrieve the data from the HDD.

Cache had be specifically exempted. What law do you think it was being exempted from, exactly?

s/not h/h/

>somebody refusing to follow the property owner's instructions and leave is not harassing or threatening
I'm going to stop listening to you now.

displaying certain array of pixels on your monitor is ILLEGAL.

like what the actual fuck.

I'm not being edgy, I just don't like the idea of crimes that can be committed by yourself with nothing more than a random number generator, a 3D suite, a painting program, a neural network, etc.

>illegal natural numbers
>illegal sequences of electrical impulses
>illegal forms of electromagnetic radiation

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!

Stallman is right about cheese pizza desu

>implying all atoms in the entire universe aren't the same age

New atoms are formed right at this very moment. Look up at the sky.

>it is ILLEGAL to make a copy for yourself of some 1s and 0s that already exist

>illegal to use certain colors

>you can be sent to prison for drawing certain things with a fucking crayon

>mfw this is true

>using special printing techniques on randomly generated images that are 6.14 inches in length and 2.14 inches in height is a federal offense

> the possession of certain arrangements of innocuous organic materials are considered offensive and could put you in jail for the rest of your (already awful) life

what did you expect of a country with a for profit prison system
