Fact Check: 'Big Tech' CANNOT Prevent Child Porn From Circulating On The Internet

Jan 13, 2021 by: Dean Miller




Is "Big Tech" letting child porn distributors freely operate while restricting people who post content that companies like Amazon and Facebook consider to be dangerous falsehoods? No, that's not how it works: No one owns the internet, which is a network of connected computers on which the World Wide Web operates via a common programming code that allows users to search for, display and transfer files.

The big tech companies (Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft) have direct control over what their users post and they impose rules. Those companies have influence over some sectors of the web because the five of them serve the most search customers, sell the most advertising and other products online and have become synonymous with "The Web." But, there are vast parts of the web -- including the child porn industry and other criminal enterprises-- that operate independent of those companies.

The flawed inference that "Big Tech" can determine what exists on the web has popped up in a number of posts, including this Facebook post published January 12, 2021. It opened with: "If big tech can shut down platforms, apps, and websites..." and continued:

why do we still have child porn?

This is what the post looked like on Facebook at the time of writing:


Posts questioning the priorities of "Big Tech" have gained virality since Amazon Web Services on January 10, 2021, turned off its hosting services for right-wing social media platform Parler, declaring Parler had violated Amazon's rules against using AWS servers to permit users to share hate speech and threats of violence.

Conservatives, who had switched to Parler in protest against Facebook's aggressive labelling of falsehoods about COVID and the 2020 presidential election, say Amazon is trying to silence conservative speech.

Here's what Amazon wrote in response to Parler's request for a temporary restraining order, which complained Amazon's action was political censorship and an attempt to squash competition:



This case is not about suppressing speech or stifling viewpoints. It is not about a conspiracy to restrain trade. Instead, this case is about Parler's demonstrated unwillingness and inability to remove from the servers of Amazon Web Services ("AWS") content that threatens the public safety, such as by inciting and planning the rape, torture, and assassination of named public officials and private citizens.


Amazon provided examples of posts Parler has permitted to remain visible:

- "#JackDorsey ... you will die a bloody death alongside Mark Suckerturd [Zuckerberg].... It has been decided and plans are being put in place. Remember the photographs inside your home while you slept? Yes, that close. You will die a sudden death!"
- "We are going to fight in a civil War on Jan.20th, Form MILITIAS now and acquire targets."
- "On January 20th we need to start systematicly [sic] assassinating [sic] #liberal leaders, liberal activists, #blm leaders and supporters, members of the #nba #nfl #mlb #nhl #mainstreammedia anchors and correspondents and #antifa . I already have a news worthy event planned."
- "Shoot the police that protect these shitbag senators right in the head then make the senator grovel a bit before capping they ass."
- "After the firing squads are done with the politicians the teachers are next."
- "White people need to ignite their racial identity and rain down suffering and death like a hurricane upon zionists."


Meanwhile, those waging war on child porn recently won a battle that demonstrates the kind of control this internet meme imputes to tech companies. Bankers at Visa, Mastercard and Discover decided to stop processing payments to Porn Hub. That's the Montreal-based company that New York Times columnist Nick Kristof, in an investigative series, identified as a major distributor of child porn and rape porn.
