Quote from: McGoober on April 13, 2012, 09:26 pmSpare us the indignation, OP. Who gives a fuck about some articles from BBC. The only thing that their coverage does is give the site publicity.Indeed McGoober - and there is no such thing as bad publicity!Speaking as someone who doesn't deal in drugs but money I'm quite happy with SR offering a diverse range of services. Fake ID in the nature of things is necessary for drug users to safely entertain their personal habits - obviously if the law were to change then there would be no need for them, it's necessity that dictates our actions, not choice!As for Child Pornography this is a difficult one - I have seen sites advertising this as well as couple of thinly veiled adverts on other forums offering it. I try to take the "gardening gloves" attitude to such matters.A person buying a pair of gardening gloves could want to use them to prune their hedge. They could equally want to use them to conceal their fingerprints to commit a robbery. If however you said the answer was to ban the sale of gloves, I'm sure you'd find most people saying it's ridiculous!We had problems with child abuse and indeed CP long before the internet came along (hell it was even legal in the Netherlands for a spell in the 70's!) and frankly I have seen more paedos and offers to view CP in public chatrooms like Yahoo than I have on here. To be frank they're not our problem!V.
