#Pirates believe that orders to remove allegedly illegal content should be left to independent courts, not government-controlled authorities. Sadly, the European Parliament disagreed. #rejected #FreeSpeech

how would that ever work? Let’s say someone uploads literal CP on a somali server. What are you gonna do to remove it at source instead of blocking it? Wave a finger in their general direction?

An authority able to remove something from the internet no matter the server and domain origin would be much more dangerous than any ISP blocking derpage. Thankfully it’s pretty much impossible.

Most sysadmins, server operators, hosters and human beings disapprove of that kind of content and would delete it asap. Also they would most likely terminate those accounts. See here (german source): https://www.tagesschau.de/investigativ/panorama/kinderpornografie-loeschung-101.html
The rest are criminals and should be investigated, observed and charged by using old fashioned police work. I am pretty sure that it's also illegal in Somalia.

oh yeah, investigating and observing criminals on the internet is a very successful endeavor, that’s why The Pirate Bay is happily chugging along after nearly 20 years of service, to much government and lobbyists annoyance.

You overestimate how successful the law enforcement is against people they can’t spy on every day. All it takes is one country that a) doesn’t have the means of enacting international takedowns, b) doesn’t cooperate on international takedowns, c) disagrees with our values or d) simply doesn’t give a fuck, and the whole system becomes completely helpless without an ability to block offending content.

Did you actually compare CP to the piratebay? wtf?

both are illegal under most civilised countries law. Remember, we’re talking about law here, not common sense. The main problem with declaring law is that it cannot rely on common sense.
