    I zoomed in to see what they are saying and they’re mostly talking about names, then one guy says something creepy in the middle about golden corrall. How do they know it’s a pedo chatroom? Could it just be some IRC-style chat where someone said something obscene in the middle?

      The full article has images that are MUCH more damning. They were discussing how risky it was for him to be in that chatroom in an airplane and discussing looking at and handling CP.

      Takes one to know one. Hopefully the person taking the photo works with law enforcement somehow and that’s why they know.

      (in green) Went to Golden Corral for the first time with my dad and his wife yesterday. A nice hangout for kids. Saw a couple cute boys and a hot little girl (…)

            No, I seriously don’t see how that comment could be considered incriminating. That would mean that no adult could ever talk to kids. Which shouldn’t need to be explained just how stupid that is.

              Little girls aren’t hot. Not to normal people, anyway.

          It was a dark web CP chatroom that he has admin rights to.

          That would be an indicator of abuse of that child in itself.

        My eyes are getting worse, doesn’t it say Lifeline Chat? I would have assumed that was the suicide hotline chat.

          I think that’s what it says too. But I also wouldn’t expect a child predator chatroom to be call something like “letstalkabouthavingsexwithchildren.chat”

          He said in another chat window that he’s obscuring the url with lifeline and all people could see was colourful lines anyway.
