Emphasis mine. You're making a fool of yourself by confusing legal and moral matters, even if I'm clearly talking about the later.
But let's bite. This is simply incorrect. The mere fact someone is able to do something is not, by itself, circumstantial evidence they did it. You'd need to pile up multiple pieces of circumstantial evidence, until you can brush off any reasonable doubt they did it, before you said "we got circumstantial evidence!"
For example. If someone took a photo, through a window, of Bezos' computer in a room, and nobody but Bezos had access to that room, and the photo showed CSAM in Bezos' computer, that would be circumstantial evidence.
No, assumer, I'm not restricting it to direct evidence.
Again, I am talking about moral principles. (Plus, do laws in the ~~banana republic~~ maize dictatorship bordering Canada even matter? Even if he got CSAM in his computer, Trump would pardon him. And the moral issue would still remain.)
Bezos can ligma. If that filth got cancer and died a painful death, I'd consider it great news.
However. The fucking principle matters. A lot. And pieces of shit eager to violate it are a dead weight and a burden to humankind. Because they don't do it only towards filth like Bezos; they point their ~~fingers~~ hooves at other people around them, and make a hell out of their lives.
And what you said is the same as "I don't give a crap about being just, I'm OK blaming people even when there's a reasonable chance they aren't at fault".
Not wasting my time further with you.
Thanks for laying this out for the bystanders. It's a vital concept.
Thank you for the "Maize Dictatorship". It's a hell of a phrase.
