No. Entrapment means you get someone to commit a crime they wouldn't have contemplated normally. Trying to pull moderate Muslims to radicalism is an example; one the FBI has done. They paid Muslims to infiltrate Mosques and find radicals. Many mosques turned these people in to the FBI, only to discover later those people were FBI agents.

with all the /{r,v}/gonewild posts; I'm pretty sure a percentage are 16/17 year old girls who intentionally post underage pics. If you're a guy and collect porn, there's a good chance you might have underage content and not even know it.

There are a number of girl and guys in their teens who are already on sex offender registries for life, in both the US and Australia, for texting pics to each other.

This is going to be the next thing to blow up. With private prisons losing potential revenue with states legalizing marijuana, the are going to need to find a new source of prisoners.

Two sets of laws.

Or rather, more accurately, one set of laws that the little people have to follow. The rulers don't have to follow anything that is inconvenient for them, including the Constitution.

What would be perfect is it a leading pro-privacy on the Internet type advocate to be outed for "terabytes of CP" to discredit all other people calling for privacy on the net

Fast and the Furious but for child porn.

They basically admitted that it's a victimless crime. If it were a crime with a causal link to child abuse then they created 215,000 instances of child abuse.
