Yeah, it's not even just a sensationalist headline. It's what they ruled. How are we supposed to reconcile this with the rest of the world? I'm genuinely asking. How do you include a country with leadership like this in the future of the world? Someone enlighten me.

A more important headline is that there currently are not laws in place to outlaw the possession and viewing of child pornography. It shouldn’t be up to the court to set a precedent of its illegality, but rather a clear law making it illegal.

It seems there is an amendment in the POSCO act for this situation but somehow it is not being enforced properly. Maybe the amendment is poorly wordly¿? I am not a lawyer though so I might be wrong

... In good company.

No trouble at all if everyone else is doing it. I mean, it's not like only Epstein had an island...
