The problem with stating stuff like this is it can be used as an example of how deep the conspiracy goes rather than a refutation.


To the conspiracy minded, sure. How can any discussion be had with these people who don't require evidence in order to make bold claims?


Dropbox working with the fbi is a fact here. Jumping to dropbox working with the fbi regarding other files is fact as well. Dropbox knowing what is in your files is known as well.

It stops being a conspiracy when everyone admits to the facts

At what point is it more plausible that the FBI did their job? How does the government intend to prove that the CSAM wasn't created by cosmic ray bit flips? Threads like these are insufferable.


I'm not the person you're arguing with, but please refer back to me an hour ago saying "Seems a fool's errand."


Right. Best to walk way.


Honestly, no idea. Seems a fool's errand.
