People seem to be widely unaware of the scope of UK indecent images law. This is exacerbated, I submit, by the activist-prosecutorial language of “Child Sexual Abuse Material” in discussion shortened to ‘CSAM’ which in Britain covers any arguably indecent (undefined, indecency being a fact for the court, hence “arguably”) image, however generated, of a minor, real or entirely fictional. Despite connoting in the public mind the most horrific crimes that are included, no actual child, nor representation of sex, nor actual physical or psychological abuse, is required for images to be deemed CSAM in Britain.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.
