> I prefer the warnings to have some basis in fact.

What would you consider a fact? A half dozen links to such content?

Really, I'm not sure what you are getting at here, there is plenty of evidence for this stuff being real and being sourced from a limited number of countries if you want to argue the opposite then I'm perfectly ok with that. But that Unicef report is there for you to read and if that does not convince you likely nothing will.

Just like NL has a - justified - bad reputation for hosting a lot of this content so the Philippines have - unfortunately - a bad reputation for being on the producing end. For a while it was Thailand, then the Thai really cracked down on the sex tourists and the child porn production and so the producers shifted to another location.




> What would you consider a fact? A half dozen links to such content?

Well, one link would be a start. And to consider something a fact, I'd generally want to see some evidence. When I'm told something is a fact but there is no evidence to support the assertion, or if the evidence turns out to be an estimate with questionable methodology methodology (say, 1 In 5 College Women Are Sexually Assaulted), then I tend to lower my opinion on the honesty of the individual or person involved.

It is?

I don't follow Thailand terribly closely, but I'd be interested to know details about this, particularly how they know child porn producers were there but left.
