What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington
In 2015, when I was living in Mainland China, I was a voracious downloader of internet files, primarily from Usenet and Torrents. I had set up my system to automatically sort all the files I downloaded into different directories so I would never have to look at them. I would organize later. During this period, I signed up for Microsoft OneDrive and proceeded to upload all my image files into their system. A few days later, I received an email stating my account had been suspended due to inappropriate images. Surprised, I checked my image folder miscelaneous sub-folder, where images were automatically sent before I sorted them. To my disgust, there was a child porn image and a bestiality image in the directory. I immediately deleted the folder (and the entire hard drive) and informed Microsoft what had happened. I was still permantly suspended from their system.
I am a Canadian who was living overseas in China at the time. I am not 100% positive how this crap got on my computer but it was probably downloaded inadvertently during my massive downloading period (I don't do this anymore. I check everything). Is it safe for me to visit the United States? I have never been contacted by Canadian Customs or Canadian Police whenever I go back to Canada but I am terrified that I am on some sort of list in the United States and would be arrested as soon as I crossed the border.
