should i check?

hi everyone have been trying not 2 check a specific site 4 fear of making myself feel even more paranoid wanted 2 ceck the site the legal status of porn as when i typed it in 3 days ago a few sites on child porn popped up which pretty much freaked me out am doubting myself now and i know im just being paranoid should i just forget about it and leave well enough alone?

As far as I know most porn is legal. If its worrying you this much and making you feel paranoid I would avoid it though, atleast until you feel better about it.

yeah ur right i know its purely paranoia deep down i know thx 4 ur reply

As long as people are of legal age(18+) and the people are willing participants, then there is nothing illegal that I would be aware of. But I understand it must be daunting for you. If you feel comfortable mentioning the topic of the site then someone might be able to tell you whether it's of any concern (and I promise on behalf of everyone that as long as it's not child porn or abuse, we will not judge).

hi evening no nothing like that i jst typed in legal statistics of porn and there was another site saying legal statistics of child porn also so was jst feeling extream paranoia over that have since changed the settings on my computer not 2 show explicit text when using search engine and the same site comes up so i doubt its illegal and i never clicked on the site i was being patanoid about its jst the ocd making me think 2 much and imagining worse case senarious thx 4 ur reply trish

be very careful in doing that. I know a guy that somehow got a child porn site on his computer that he did not go to and is facing charges right now. be careful

hi i know u didnt mean to but u have literally sent me into patanoia oferload now im actually freaking out now what type of site did he get on his computer mine wasnt even child porn it was the statistics of child porn so id say its jst a site on how the law stands on child porn how on earth is that illegal?

Trishal you're most likely fine. If your site was about the legal issues of child porn, and not child porn itself, you didn't do anything illegal.

You didn't do this, but I would think that accidentally stumbling upon child porn is fairly common, giving the amount of porn in general that is on the internet. In some ways I'm surprised that a guy bebop knows got a (single) child porn site on his computer accidentally, and is now facing charges. I mean, you can even pick up things like that through spyware...and I'm sure many of us, unfortunately, have. However, very few people are actually charged for things like that (as far as I know, anyway...I am in Canada, so maybe it's different here) so it makes me think that maybe there's more to the story with Bebop's acquaintance than it seems (though I don't know for sure, of course.) It seems to me that the police/experts can probably tell the difference between a computer with an accidental infection and one that belongs to someone who actually uses child porn. Not to say that charges like that don't happen (obviously they do, as in bebop's friend's case) but it probably doesn't happen often.

Regardless, though, it seems like what you found didn't even fall into THAT category. I think you probably have nothing to worry about.

thanku embrace u have really helped ease my mind i was told by a few people yesterday that i hadnt done anything wrong i never even clicked on this site was jst so worried as it was listed in search engine with wat i had typed in the ocd part of me jst went in2 overdrive thx again trish
