Is Lolicon Legal in the United States?

Ever since then, I've been extremely paranoid. I got rid any and all cartoon porn I had of characters who were underage, even reformatted my laptop to make sure it was off my harddrive for good.

After a few months or a year, I thought I'd try it again after talking to a couple anons on /tg/. Then about seven months later, I found a letter from our internet company addressed to my dad. I don't know what was in that letter, but it got me worried. Deleted all the shit again, not reformat, but I cleaned it out.

Then, this summer, I again expressed my worries about how the legality of it in a relevant thread on /co/. They told me the same thing; Freedom of Speech, how it gets thrown out in court, hundreds of thousands of people do it everyday, etc. Didn't even save anything pornographic to my laptop this time, just popped into loli threads and other websites where it was okay to post. Some time afterward, I received the red junk letter. I still don't know whether or not it was junkmail.

It took me a long time to get the nerve to post this thread. But hey, I figured if what I'm worried about was true, a huge chunk of the internet would have been vanned, and everyone on /tv/ would be in prison.

I wish I didn't worry about every fucking thing.

In the future, don't check if it really is cp, there are government institutions which have to worry about that. If they had evidence that you have cp, those same institutions would be knocking on your door in a second. Point of the story, loli is just fiction, porn is for mature people over 18, lolis aren't humans so that is not cp. Stop checking man and don't get arrested. Hope this helps.

Anyone who is reading this, thanks in advance. I know it's not the best time to make a thread, but I really need to get this off my chest.

Okay, cool. If I need to make a report, would I still be safe doing it with ASACP or another non-official group, or do I go straight to the FBI?

Well, if ASACP is doing their job(taking down those sites) than proceed, if not turn to Fbi. I have to warn you though, while what you are doing is admirable, you could be accused of a felony you haven't done. If this is your real call, enlist in police Academy or something similar. Good luck man.

Is Lolicon a convention for people who like lollipops?

Thank you. In retrospect, you're right, if I really was being monitored, I guess that law enforcement would have taken me immediately.

I still don't know if loli and shota is legal or not. Maybe I should avoid it altogether, since it makes me so paranoid.

One would think so.

One last bump before I go to sleep. I still need to advice from other people.

I have possible plans tomorrow, but I'll keep up with this thread as much as I can.

so just to note a few things,
when gov. agencies look to prosecute crimes they don't tell people they're being investigated.

If they have probable cause to examine you at this point investigators don't need a warrant or to tell you they can go to the ISP and request info on your internet history.

not trying to scare you dude,
but you're the last person they would tell until they come knocking.

it's probably nothing, but I would avoid that stuff like the plague. Assume nothing you do on the internet is never completely anonymous.

I am not a lawyer. None of us are, bere on /adv/ (some of us might be IRL, but you have no way to verify that, so it's safest to assume that we are not).

But last I heard, this question went to the Supreme Court, and they ruled that it technically did not qualify as child pornography. That only covers the US, though; unless I am mistaken, for example, Canada takes the opposite stance.

You won't find any jurisdiction where it isn't highly frowned upon. Not even Japan (where much of this stuff originates) is THAT tolerant of the stuff. Even if you can't go to jail, there are other ways you could get into serious trouble.

That all makes sense. Again, I guess that means I'm in less trouble than a lot of people on this website, especially the people on /tv/ who legitimately are IRL pedophiles.
