Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

How could they possibly enforce this ban?
Wasn't the point that what he was using them for already illegal? Sounds like he already couldn't get caught, so doesn't seem like that'll do much...
What do you mean? Like how would they catch him?
In the States parole/probation means you lose most of your civil liberties. In other words, if this was the U.S. a PO would check his phone and possibly his computer. Possibly even pull ISP records depending on how bad they want to catch you/how full of shit they think you are.
How will they even know he's doing it? It doesn't say they're monitoring his internet connection. And even if they were monitoring his internet connection, he could go to some public wifi hotspot and sit in a car and do it.
I edited my comment. You're too quick.
But yeah, he could get around it. But, he's an addict. He's going to want that porn other places then his car and make mistakes. If he's tech savvy, he can probably stay one step ahead of his probation agent (assuming he has one). If he's not, he'll slip up because he's addicted, and that's how people get caught.
Is it weird that the whole detect/evade game just sounds super fun to me?
Not really. You're probably a bit of a dopamine/norepinephrine (adrenaline) junky, like most Westerners. It's bred into us by consumer culture.
It's weird that it's not weird though.
Nahh, I'm not so much about the chase as the metagame.
Might want to checkout cyber security and pen testing. It's not the same thing exactly but it kinda close in some regards.
That's probably as close as I can get without picking out a taboo and running with it. I wonder if some drug lords get bored with the game and pretend to be pedophiles to catch bigger fish.
What do you mean by metagame? Like you find the cat and mouse stuff that is happening fascinating?
It's like hunting down a secret base in Minecraft. When you find it, they use a better trick next time! The objective for security endeavors is always distinct but the methods are always changing as everyone gets better!
Put monitoring software on his devices.
He could just get a burner phone. Realistically, there is no way to police this.
This is pretty similar to restraining orders, make it more difficult and make the consequences more severe.
Or a burner laptop/Chromebook/whatever. Couple that with a VPN, using a neighbor's wifi, public hotspots, etc, I don't really see how they can realistically enforce someone motivated to do what they're gonna do.
In the modern world when we have cellphones that can do pretty much anything... it's fucking hard. There will be a parole officer and monitoring software with periodic physical inspections along with watching his purchases. (That's, at least, th American approach).
Usually the way it works is that when this dude slips up once he goes to prison for violating his court order.
Have part of his probation be having his property searched to check for such devices.
There’s a log for everything. There really is. It’s just hard to piece it all together.
Maybe they think he is capable of self enforcing the ruling?
Or that they want the option of gaoling him if they so much as get a hint he’s using one of the services in any capacity.
Difficult indeed. Maybe banning him from owning a computer or graphics card capable of running local models. Installing spyware on his devices. I'm sure he could get around it, undetected, for a while, if he was determined. But he would be gambling at getting caught.
To be honest I don't really see the point. We are getting to a point where anyone can generate any image of anything at any time. Let him have his fun. We can't sexual conversion therapy him and he isn't hurting anyone. Ones and zeroes, bits and bytes.
For anyone who thinks conversion therapy works; imagine someone trying to convert you from your sexuality. Let's say I tried to make you gay. Would that ever work for you?
