Because you never truly know how old the subjects are. 1,004 people across the world (including in Europe) are in trouble this week as Danish police are handing hundreds of indictment requests to prosecutors to decide what to do with them for sharing child porn online.
In the fall of last year, there was apparently a widely circulated video of two 15-year-old Danish teenagers getting it on posted online. Without questioning why-on-earth they’d do it, hundreds of people decided to share it via Facebook and Facebook Messenger. As a result, Facebook was later notified and deleted all of them — including most of their accounts.
Danish police and Europol spent months tracking social media accounts and IP addresses, and now, the fate of the 1,004 unidentified people sits in the hands of prosecutors who are struggling to determine how to fix the problem. While it is unlikely that they will end up in prison, they, certainly will not get off scott-free.
