[tor-talk] help us:Korean government started to fine netizen who download child pornography without child

[SiNA Rabbani]

Julian, thank you for speaking your mind. I am also disgusted by the term

I don't contribute to Tor, so some dude in Korea can watch youth being
abused in the name of entertainment,  where some see pleasure and fun, I
see misery and suffering.
