  • The way I read it is that possession of the material is illegal, not sharing or recording. Possession. In Denmark possession of CSAM was made illegal and it lead to police being forced to prosecute people who accidentally uncovered CSAM and wanted to report it. I haven’t heard of specific cases, but if you want to report existence of CSAM on a CD that is in your hands which you found in the attic of a home you just moved into the police will tell you to destroy it immediately and forget about it because the law can’t distinguish between the owner of the CSAM and the current temporary person that possesses it and reports it. The UK law sounds like it will create the same issue (not that I am arguing that consensual BDSM = CSAM. Far from it. I just fear the consequences could be transferrable to this law and outlawing possession of bits and bytes is always a problem).

    I btw couldn’t find face sitting on the list of outlawed kinks, so those who are into that are safe for now.




  • The trick is to find something that uniquely identifies the cancer cells and tell the immune system to attack that. If it says “attack everyone in a red shirt” but some normal liver cells have a red shirt, then you got a problem. But if only the cancer cells are wearing khakis, then you just identify that. It’s the same principle as normal vaccines except that for cancers there’s no single identifying trait for all people getting the cancer (even if it’s the same type). For a virus it has the exact same trait across everyone who catches it until the virus itself mutates (which is why the flu gets a new vaccine each year to fight the most common mutation).
