AFAIK this is fake.

As much as this would please me, this report seems awfully suspect. Elon Musk gave a statement to the Vancouver Times about this and nobody else, didn't tweet about it or anything, and nobody else covered the story, all despite this happening 2 days ago? Something doesn't seem right about this.

Yea, I find it rather suspect that the FBI would arrest one of their own as well.

Remember that time an audit found child porn on 40% of the FBI's computers and not a single person was arrested, or even fired?

This does appear to be "satire" that gained legs.

    What is this voice of reason on Saidit?

    I am almost always reasonable and objective 😕

    It seems Agrawal can sue the satire website for defamation. This isn't remotely appropriate as satire, IMO.

    I'm inclined to agree with you. The satire defense standard is that a 'reasonable person' (they mean an average person, who aren't really that reasonable) would recognize this as obvious satire. I don't think its that obvious, it didn't read like an article from The Onion or The Babylon Bee, and the Vancouver Times has real news stories on their site, it isn't a purely satirical publication. Also people do get arrested for this, two CNN producers are facing charges just like this, it happens frequently enough this is not obviously satire. I interpreted this as 'fake news' not as satire. Somebody fucked up letting this go to press, Agrawal can easily afford to bury them in lawsuits

    I knew Twitter is a mess with regular porn but I never knew it had a terrible child porn issue. It almost seems like Twitter just needs to be shut down. It serves no purpose other than being like the streets of San Francisco. I remember using Facebook's search capability and typed in something that wasn't sexual but I got all these responses that were and tons of profiles that were all naked Asian people. And I thought that Facebook had a no nude policy but apparently not.

    Fake. It was sourced from the satire site Vancouver Times.

    You can't do satire anymore because people can't distinguish it from reality.

    I agree it's made up but doesn't make sense as to why it's satire..Where's the punch line???

    I could see this being a true story for becuase: 1. FBI cleaning house for a cover up, planting CP on his computer 2. He actually had CP since they let it run rampant on Twitter, and now the fbi is cleaning house for a cover up.

    Either way all I can find is the same story word for word on a couple sources, no real evidence of it happening.

    I thought I had a sense of humor. But I don’t find this funny.
