    Pedophiles are obviously the excuse to gather public support? It’s fascinating that you actually believe them when they say they want to protect children.

      It’s fascinating you don’t believe that authorities are frustrated by people sharing CP without repercussions.

      In this specific case, there’s a legitimate argument to be made for protecting kids even if you don’t think it’s worth the increased surveillance.

      I’m kidding by the way about it being fascinating. It’s actually really stupid and doesn’t surprise me that people like you would believe nonsense.
