>"cheese pizza" is 4chan slang

This is not true actually.

FBI and some forensic science experts used it internally way back before 4chan was even created.

I was told wikipedia and Google work free of charge for everyone.

I find this personally interesting. I work at the national center for missing and exploited children (ncmec), and in the exploited children division (ECD) we build systems to accept reports from internet companies, do analysis and send reports to law enforcement with said analysis.

When we go out for lunch or whatever, we refer to child porn as CP. It's a bit awkward to explain we house the largest collection of CP.

Odd question perhaps, but what would happen if you were hacked and that collection was stolen? Would it be considered distribution of CP? Would the legal ramifications for your organization be different from any other kind of data breach?

That's a fine question. I don't know the answer to it. Obviously our system admins take security seriously.

I think I speak for a great many of us when I say that I'd like a citation for the idea that even 4chan considered "cheese pizza" a code for child pornography.

Intellectually, it appears we're cruising along at approximately the "asphinctersayswhat" level of complexity.

I've seen it referred to, jokingly, o 4chan and other forums.

For people who are baffled and/or puzzled, it's based on the acronym - child pornography - cp - cheese pizza.

Yep, here's an Urban Dictionary entry from 2010: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cheese%20pizz...

> Post CP is an acronym in which CP can have a variety of meanings. Initially used as an acronym for 4chan posters to indirectly mention or request a child pornography thread, in later years the acronym became commonly associated with the posting of other subjects with the same first letters (C & P, most notably “Cheese Pizza”) to parody prohibited request threads or to troll those who hope to find child pornography.

> There was also "u jelly?," a way of asking if someone was jealous, and "cheese pizza," or "CP", slang for child porn. More shrewd 4chan users would start discussion threads about literal cheese pizza, including photos of pizzas, and add hidden links to a child porn archive within the image code -- accessed by opening the pizza images in a text program instead of an image viewer.

The usage of code words and symbols by Comet Pizza and Besta Pizza are mapped to an FBI document that was uncovered. There's also been strange phrases uncovered in the Podesta emails that seem to indicate that code words are in use. Additionally, people have found hidden data in JPGs sent around, which appear to be hashes that were placed after the closing JPG headers. Not sure I believe any of it, but it's definitely interesting.

Could you link that FBI document explaining pedo-slang that Podesta was allegedly using?

AFAIK there is no such document. The only sourcing for the slang terms was an anonymous 4chan post.

    “hotdog” = boy

    “pizza” = girl

    “cheese” = little girl

    “pasta” = little boy

    “ice cream” = male prostitute

    “walnut” = person of colour

    “map” = semen

    “sauce” = orgy

The FBI document detailing the symbols can be found here: https://wikileaks.org/wiki/FBI_pedophile_symbols

The similarities were rather striking. One pizza place even changed their logo shortly after the comparisons were drawn. This only added more fuel to the fire. http://i.imgur.com/GIRxh8r.jpg

Myself being a huge fan of conspiracy theory I've seen this before: the minds become focussed on finding evidence, discarding Occam's razor, and mining for all the nuggets. What remains are coincidences that appear too good to be random. Compare with the "backwards playing record hidden messages" hype. Once someone points it out to you, your mind starts hearing it too.

P.S.: The "hashes" found in the .jpg images were a dead end / the result of pareidolia.

This document says a heart within a heart is symbol for GirlLover - symbolizes a relationship between an adult and a minor girl.

Wait 'til the conspiracy theorists see the logo for a multinational ice-cream company:

They actually did, and then they tried to find connections between the two. Turning up stuff like:

(A Unilever and Clinton Foundation cooperation found in https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/1596)

and some older abuse charges brought up against people connected with Unilever.

Also consider the possibility that the pedo symbology was inspired by the ice cream logo (and not the other way around).

But most likely just a (meaningful) coincidence. Hearts and spirals are common design elements after all.

So basically this is troll numerology.

Yes, in part. But don't underestimate the deliberate black, grey, and white propaganda elements of all this (see also: "meme magick").
