Any discussion that starts with "Here's a graphic account of sexual abuse" is not a real discussion.

It's just like trying to start discussing the Patriot act by starting with a recording from a plane on 9/11 (an irrelevant appeal to emotion that is so outsized it interferes with the dispassionate ability to weigh alternatives).

For all we know taking away cp from pedophiles makes them more likely to try it in person. Go after the creators.



He then suggests a method for going after the creators, i.e people who livestream their abuse over secure connections, or use them to conduct the abuse.

It's a far better proposition than assuming everyone is guilty and mass-scanning photo libraries.

I was in complete agreement with most Apple-related comments until I saw this group of knee-jerk reactions to a reasonable attempt at discussion. wtf
