That's the thing, as distasteful as some things are, do we really want to go down the slippery slope of having Thought Police?
If Republicans are in charge they could make thinking about abortion a crime and if Democrats are in charge they will of course make teaching capitalism and free market economics a crime.
Right… its a slippery slope… things are rarely black and white as idealists would hope.
When I was younger I championed the idea that anything related to this stuff just be launched out of a catapult … now Im still onboard for that for actual child rapists, but the surrounding stuff is way to much of a grey area to live in absolutes now.
Ill give you an example… its 100% illegal to possess child pornography… that seems reasonable in 99.99% of the cases, but even that can have grey areas… years ago my Brother and his wife bought their teenage daughter a cell phone. She, of course, sent nudes to her teenage boyfriend, who did what dumbasses do and shared them with his friends… the school caught wind and fortunately confiscated the kids cell phones.
The parents of all the children were brought in and explicitly threatened with child porn charges if all the phones were not immediately wiped clean. In the time between the school making a formal decision whether to file something or not, some of the parents lawyered up and were surprised to find out that the law actually allows them to face prison time and there are already several cases where the legal owners of high schoolers phones did get convicted.
Laws should punish criminal behavior, not make criminals out of innocent people…
Like i said, if you made a program with the intent to make child porn, that is one thing… If it just goes off on a tangent-on its own , that is a different kettle of fish…
