Busted by Data AUTO-BOTS
-
This was originally part of another post, but I think it's important enough to be it's own post topic.
In the past, I downloaded freely anything I wanted, until recently I got involved with those who got caught (including me). In the next three posts, I'll cite three different BUSTS that personally affected me. Learn from my mistakes so this doesn't happen to you….

CLOUD PORN: BUST INCIDENT ONE
I was recently an alternate juror in the trial of two men who shared a OneDrive cloud data storage account where they chose to store their pornography collection (videos and photos). When they uploaded explicit adult content to the cloud, the data was physically written to a Microsoft server, which unbeknownst to them was subject to scanning by machine auto-bot censors, which by chance, matched a few video clips to some big database somewhere involving Daddy/Son porn scenes with and underage participant (3 clips out of a their personal porn collection of over 2000 clips and thousands of photos) though an auto-bot censor attached to a large database of known child-pornography content. This case was over less than 1 minute of video footage out of a collection of hundreds of hours of legal pornography. Ultimately, both men were forced to plead guilty, subjected to massive fines and public humiliation and are now registered sex-offenders serving time. During the trial they both claimed that they were NOT collector's and/or active participants in child-pornography, yet they paid the price. because somewhere, somehow the offending content was among their personal porn collection stored in the OneDrive cloud server. Apparently these porn-censor data auto-bots are part of a new federally mandated anti-child pornography and human trafficking law enacted by congress to actively monitor adult content stored in on the big name cloud providers and NAS storage devices that back up on servers in the US.

CLOUD BASED PRON BUST TWO
A good friend of mine recently discovered that his entire main private email account (hosted by gmail), his entire Google Drive and his extensive personal colleen of explicit adult images uploaded to Google Photos were suddenly deleted permanently. My buddy called up the big G in the sky to ask why, and they said it was due to the explicit content stored in the Google Photos cloud. While Google Photos does not prohibit explicit adult content, the photo tool IS part of the associated email account and it all backs up to the Google Drive account which does specifically ban explicit adult content. One day you have a long established email account, cloud drive storage full of data, and a handy anywhere, anytime personal explicit adult content cloud based photo collection he seen years creating, them - BANG - he lost it all overnight without warning. Once again it was a case of getting busted by encoring auto-bots scanning cloud based adult data content.

DOWNLOADED COPYRIGHT CONTENT BUST THREE
One day after some downloading, the phone rings, and it's a woman from my small town, piddly little cable company / ISP, and she informs me, that "someone at your location, illegally downloaded copyrighted media content in the past 24 hours. Regrettably, I asked her what specifically was the content. Then I blacked out for a bit and suddenly snapped to when she was saying "blah, blah, blah, so in so BONUS CUM SCENES video." I was horrified, and quickly made up something about the neighbors hacking our wi-fi then hung up after promising it won't happen again. Moments later I hired FruitVPN, and ever since I've been routing all my torrent downloading traffic to server's in Oslo, Norway (you can pick anywhere). The service works so well that when I was experiencing some connection issues, I called the ISP for tech support, and this time after putting me on hold to check my equipment, she came back and said "we don't know why, but for some reason, your cable modem is pinging in from somewhere in Norway. She reset the connection and apologized for the obvious technical error. I've been downloading freely ever since, but I'll never forget the horror of her totally busting me for downloading porn in the first place. Thank God she didn't dispatch the repair technician to my secret place in Norway.

BTW - ALL THREE BUSTS WERE THE RESULT OF CENSOR AUTO-BOTS SCANNING MY PORN DATA..

I am very careful with anything that might even possibly be thought to be kiddie porn even if it clearly is not. For instance, videos with "boy" in the title, like CockyBoys. It would be reasonable for that to set off a red flag for either software or a person checking for kiddie porn. I wouldn't want to deal with that situation even if it ended up okay. I have ended up on websites with videos of mostly very young looking guys and always leave immediately because I feel uncomfortable about what might be there. Of course, it helps that I don't want to look at guys who look like they're under 21 in the first place.
With major studios who have a legal records notice at the beginning of the video, it's not such a big worry, but if not, be very careful. If an actor looks young and it is an amateur video or a video from Eastern Europe or Russia or similar that is not from a major studio, I wouldn't take the risk. There are plenty of other videos out there that wouldn't cause trouble.
It's not just a matter of not wanting to get into trouble. It's also important not to encourage exploitation of minors. Even if it were legal and voluntary, I don't think it would be good for very young people. I even worry about some of the actors who are in their early 20s who obviously make some bad choices in life and end up dead or in prison.

So all the kiddie porn is saved in Norway now?? Damn that country is a sex freak. :cheers:
Thanks for these warnings, it's much appreciated.

Thanks for sharing these experiences @SFjoe1966.
Looks like anything in the cloud has becoming highly transparent.

Thank you, it made me rethink my cloud storage strategy, now that hard drives are so cheap it makes sense investing in a couple of back up drives.

I don't mean to sound mean…. But.... Why the fuck do you think every single tracker, and user talks about VPNs? Either people have never really took the time to understand this technology; or people did not want to invest a small amount of money for their internet safetly. Every bit of information is collected from you. WTF do you think we're fighting for Net Neutrality? It's real shit!!I go even further, 95% of the time I use my seedbox. There I not only have the storage, but I never have to worry whether or not my VPN is on or off.
Listen, torrenting is absolutely NOT for the weak. People really, really need to learn. And I'm aware that some dudes have to wank at public bathrooms every once in a while, I would NOT even download any porn on my phone. You just don't know if you'll ever be put in the position where someone of authority will access your phone, or whatever. I don't care about the privacy laws, because shit has a funny way of happening in life... We should know better than this, especially as gay men. There still exist people that are always willing and ready to destroy LGBT peopl in anyway they can!!

Hey
Does your seedbox ever get hit with Notices of Copyright by any chance? I'm guessing the seedbox is still susceptible to copyright and that the seedbox owner is still liable to divulge your information if required by a court. How is a seedbox legally more protective of your identity?

Please read up on what seedboxes are. All it takes is a simple Google search. Don't assume anything. This is why people get in to trouble.

This worries me, I keep about 300GB of porn on my paid One Drive for easy access when out and about

A lot of you guys have been living in a plastic bubble. Unfortunately. I'm not even sure if I would put porn on a USB drive. You really have to think before you do this stuff. That really should be enjoyed in the privacy of your home.
