quote:

Tech reporter Peter Bright has been arrested for soliciting sex with children online. He was employed by Ars Technica until recently.

A federal complaint alleges that Bright sought to molest a 7- and 9-year-old and met with an undercover agent for this purpose, at which point he was arrested. It also states that Bright claimed to be in a sexual relationship with an 11-year-old. He is currently being held without bail.


hm how could anyone have ever suspected?



















supposedly there's more rambling about age of consent on the ars forums


e: lol

My friend is an eloquent speaker.

lol i met him at an ars LAN party in ahwatukee az in 2002. he was a small, pimply, and timid man, and in no way the abrasive rear end in a top hat he was on the otherwise “civilized” ars technica forums.

god forums culture was so weird/unique back then. obviously sa was sa, ars tried so goddam hard to be erudite, and |H| was like monster energy drink and nerd stink taken bbcode form. kinda miss how the web was way different before everything got bought by Condé Nast and started being mined for ad revenue. sa did the right thing w/ the pay wall.

I met PeterB at an ars meet and discussed Windows Vista with him and I think some of the points made it into an article. Triply shameful there.

nah, some people argue age of consent changes from the point of view of changing laws so that teenagers having sex with each other can have access to birth control and other sexual health services

blanket accusing anyone who talks about it of being a paedo is not a good thing for helping reduce unwanted pregnancy and std infection amongst teenagers

we spend a lot of money on f-35s but i bet if we spent that on searching twitter for people making self-referential pedo jokes and having strong opinions on the age of consent then running stings it'd cost less than f-35s and would get more kiddy diddlers off the streets
