It could download instructions and coordinating communication for drug manufacturing, money laundering, and terrorism! Add them to pædo porn and you have the Four Horsemen of the Infopocalypse! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Infocalyp...
And people could use human brains to store that information. We need read/write access to your mind just to be safe!
If a kid can use curl, then they deserve the porn.
Not everyone considers porn a reward, and not everyone who’s curious about it is guaranteed not to regret it later.
It’s about primary purpose.
You could make a case that the primary purpose of the internet is to download porn.
In that case, let's see what we can do with a gun...
No wait lets go one more layer down. Lets attack the net and socket c/c++ libraries as they can also be used to download a little bit of pron.
Why stop there? Telnet can be used. Or what about wireshark? Let's ban those too. While we're at it, C++ can be used and other programming languages as well. We could keep going.
This whole thing is silly.
Does cURL feature "here's how to download porn" anywhere in the code base or documentation?
> Think of the children!
Suggesting people "think of the children" as they download porn is perhaps not the best advice.
