Witch hunts? I think you are misguided here
It’s a completely reasonable belief given everything we know about him that he has access to and consumes csam if he so desires.
That is a reasonable belief based on his actions and character but not provable court.
The real legal principle you’re looking for here is defamation and even then it doesn’t protect him because it’s totally reasonable to conclude he does such a thing
About principles:
I am talking about presumption of innocence = innocent until proved guilty. Not defamation. More specifically, I'm contradicting what you said in the other comment:
If presumption of innocence is also a moral principle, it should also matter for the public opinion. The public (everyone, including you and me) should not accuse anyone based on assumptions, "trust me", or similar; we should only do it when there's some evidence backing it up.
Not even if the target was Hitler. Because, even if the target is filth incarnated, that principle is still damn important.
Now, specifically about Bezos:
I am not aware of evidence that would back up the claim that Bezos has CSAM in his personal laptop. If you have it, please, share it. Because it's yet another thing to accuse that disgusting filth of. (Besides, you know... being a psychopathic money hoarder, practically a slaver, and his company shielding child abusers?)
EDIT: let me guess. Epstein files?
The evidence is circumstantial, but this is in fact evidence
If that’s not good enough for you then you have more faith in his character than I do
There is CSAM on the Internet.
gustofwind has access on their personal computer to whatever they want on the Internet.
Therefore gustofwind has CSAM on their computer. Prove me wrong.
lmaoo you have some kind of context disorder if you think Jeff bezos is a blank slate like random people on the internet or are just entirely unfamiliar with how people of his wealth and power often act
