Xbox 360 Spammed With Child Pornography

[Comment deleted]

I was in a game of Halo III ounce and about five or six unrelated players all got into an argument about whos town grew the best marijuana. Halfway through the match(big team battle; Avalanche)I got a picture message from one of them of a nug of weed. So my question is, who gets into weed arguments over xbox live that frequently where they'd actually be prepared to send a picture as proof? The caption for it was something like "still doubt me?"

Not a fan of capital punishment, however, when it comes to crimes against kids I make an exception...or buy an appropriately sized island and drop the sickos off.

This is messed up, luckily I don't have time to play online.

obviously if you mention marijuana and who... I would assume right away that you were gaming with a group of retards.

Australia anyone?

So wait... the console got confiscated? That must suck...

obviously you haven't read the articles on comments

this sort of news just gives paedos news coverage that they should not have.

who ever did this is sick and needs caseration.

not surprised. the only kind of people on xbox live are kids cause what adult would be dumb enough to pay a monthly fee just to play online when there are better alternatives where you do not have to bleed money just to play a game online.

From the article, I took it to mean that some teenager was randomly sending photos of himself and his girlfriend, not some pedophile. Regardless, should be pretty easy for M$ to find out who did this.

Another example of human stupidity.

If a hacker can take control of the XBox camera, who knows what kind of pictures can suffice on the Live network

Well, same applies to a PC webcam, BTW, lol.

Cheers!

Too bad a host can't ban a player.....

Yeah, kill them all! That will fix society!
/sarcasm

the kid more than likely sent it himself. a year ago around christmas time, me and a buddy of mine got sent pictures of some loser. the one i got had a guy when a pencil in his ass. this is no joke. it was very very disturbing.

I don'r get the part where if they deleted it, they could be accused of possesion.

Blame the video games!!!

Isn't it ironic how they not get arrested for possession of child pr0n by not deleting it?

Sorry I couldn't help but lol at this. Ive never been on xbl or psn so I dont really know how getting unsolicited images work. Regardless I wouldn't have even opened any message from anyone I dont know irl. Isn't that intarweb common knowledge? But going back to the police issue- I cannot believe you can be prosecuted for opening up child porn inadvertently.

What if the person just wanted them to see his adorable kid? xD

Then you're a pussy. Why does everything these days have to be disturbing or offensive. Just delete the damn pic and be on your way like a normal person rather than a kneejerk crybaby who is constantly looking for stuff to get upset about.

Me neither, it's absolutely preposterous. So they do the right thing and get the console confiscated ? Imagine it was your PC, with all your private data on it ? Would they at least let you back it up so you can work on another PC ? What if you don't have another PC ? And anyway, why are they entitled to have your Console/PC with all your data inside ? Are you allowed to delete everything from it that has nothing to do with the case ?

I mean, if someone wants to upset you, they could mail you some strange e-mail like this one from a Wi-fi spot, sitting inside the car outside, and if everytime you get to do the right thing you also get to have your Console/PC confiscated ?

What if it was a one time thing ? What if the couple thought the sender had a virus that had sent the pictures ? Are you going to bother with all the SPAM you get ?

I mean, I could denounce to authorities everytime I'm told I won the Lottery in Zimbabwe, or everytime someone tells me I'm their favoured one to get all the money from a rich man that just died with no relatives.

What I'm saying is, there has to be a line drawn somewhere. In the caseof child pornography, I agree it's more serious, but still, the person who does the right thing should not be penalised for it, nor should the person who immediately deleted the message because of feeling morally offended by it, which in any case, is a perfectly normal reaction. I mean if the person had actually solicited the message, that's entirely different, but it's not the case.

Now that sounds like a bad case of writer's block!

its so simple and cheap to castrate pedophiles why not do it?

So the cops sent them the pic.

Unfortunately the cops are right (even here in the US). Becaused they opened the e-mail and saw the pics, if the couple would have deleted it and police found out, there's a chance they could be prosecuted. Is it stupid, 110% yes. Did it happen, yes it has. To the police, this is aiding a crime because you didn't report it. Ain't the law grand..../sarcasm

You know what this means, all those first person shooters and those platformers are encouraging people to download child porn

we must ban all xbox 360 games

PS this causes the spread of porn like this because this will discourage people from reporting, would that family have reported it they knew their xbox 360 would be taken away?

Why couldn't the police just contacted microsoft and have them tell which account and which ip the porn originated from?


also fox news in 3 2 1
Tonight on fox news, could Gears of War be turning your family into pedophiles?

Saying swear words (F*** & S***) are not allowed on this website. Threats of banning should be coming your way.

That the threat to me... so be advised.


On subject: Just air drop the perverts on a island that is about 100 square yards in the Pacific. They get the food and drink from the enviroment.

Not sure how Xbox Live works myself, but this seems like a troll, taken one step further. I hope the perpeturator is punished.

lol. i would come up with something else if i was trying to be funny. i seriously got that sent to me. google it if you don't believe me. there was some clown sending that crap to thousands of people. you can't make stupid shit like that up.

You mean Australia?


Wireless xbox doggle?
