> No, it would not. Odds are there is something on your hard disk right now that could be classified as child porn, if the accuser was motivated enough.

Speak for yourself, there's absolutely nothing in my files that could even marginally be classified as child pornography. I would think this is the same for most people.

With this guy, investigators found hundreds of thousands of photos and videos of child sexual abuse on his disks. And then he tried to defend himself by claiming it's a victimless crime.

I know people like a good conspiracy theory, especially if it involves the government, but this isn't it.

Apparently there's some in the bitcoin blockchain. Never went looking for it personally, but I assume it's encoded the same way as the image of the bitcoin logo in there.

You're going to run into your Cardinal Richelieu one day, person who signed up to HN two hours ago in order to defend the honour of the CIA.

Announcing what you desire to be true does not make it true.
No, sure. Maybe the CIA won't betray you. I mean, they gain people's trust in order to betray it all the time - that's what spies do - but maybe your trust in them won't be betrayed.
