I believe a bunch of legislation has language regarding being "aware" and "knowingly facilitating." Safe harbor goes out the window if you know things are going on and do nothing. How being p2p factors in is beyond my armchair.

Does that apply to software developers as well as service providers? Wouldn't the Tor project get prosecuted into the ground under such legislation?

Because Google isn't aware of pirate/CP search results on their platform?

And SESTA/FOSTA will apply to them too. It's a horrible set of laws.

I too think this statement matters with regards to law. Knowing that your platform can be used nefariously is one thing, being ok with it is another. Once the witch hunt starts it can get tricky fast.

It's obviously damning because it shows that he knows he's potentially facilitating illegal activity.
