I agree, they’re overstepping their bounds when a person can possibly get in trouble for simply clicking a link. I can only imagine who they will be arresting, if anyone ever ends up arrested due to clicking a random link sent to them: Someone’s grandmother, some young kid trying to get to the nickelodeon website, etc.

I’m pretty sure that they’ll realize how ridiculous it would be to go after anyone clicking a link after the vast majority of their leads direct them to an elderly or young person, or someone else without much internet experience.

I don’t mind so much them running a sting operation, but there should be some oversight and protections like actively downloading something from specific pages or uploading the same.

I of course dislike the federal definitions of pornography which basically says we will know it when we see it.  They also define it as anything that gets you sexually excited, so if you are looking at fully clothed picture of someone and get aroused you have by the feds definition technically viewed sexually explicit material.  So all those women adults and minors out there who get excited by pictures of David Archuleta have technically viewed explicit images of a minor and are guilty of child pornography, but those of us who see the same picture and want to throw darts at it we are guilty of nothing.
