One thing my partner and I disagree about is taking pictures of our kids in the bath or paddling pool, on the basis they might end up in the public domain somewhere. My personal opinion is that it's the other guys problem, if they want to sexualise images of my kids, if I have to self sensor, we've already lost. But as my partner points out principles don't count for much if you've got pedos trading pictures of your kids, so.....?

I don't think _taking_ photos should be a problem, but what do you do with them afterward? I see people posting photos and videos of their children in public Instagram accounts all the time, and I think that's a terrible thing to do. Not because creeps might get off on them (though of course that's bad), but because it shows that the parents -- who have been entrusted to make decisions on behalf of their minor children -- are showing a distinct lack of respect and care for their children's privacy. I don't have kids, but if I eventually do have any, I will never post photos or videos of them on IG, FB, YT, etc. I might privately share some things via better-protected, private-by-default channels (email, messaging apps, possibly private sharing on something like Google Photos), but that's it. This isn't about self censorship; this is about understanding what these public services are about, and making responsible decisions about what I do and don't post.

  I guess you should keep your kids locked in your house as well, since the outside is full of strangers that could look at them in the streets. And the only thing worse than someone looking at photos or videos of your kids is seeing your kids live, because they exist, are visible, and people have eyes. I think the solution is to create a new kid of clothing, that covers the kid wholly, no inch of skin to be shown, that is put whenever the kid needs to be seen in public, to end this terrible invasion of the kid's privacy whenever anyone takes a look at them outside.

As someone that found about this "wormhole" long time ago, I was very surprised about this video. Because all I saw was a cute girl stretching doing her gimnastics, and I found her cute, so I would watch something similar later on. I found it really weird that he thinks those videos are an abomination, because, there's videos like these of cats being cute, and then Youtube algorithm is going show nothing but cute cat videos. Are we going the be escandalized because some people might have zoophilia and use those videos to masturbate or something? It's ridiculous, at some point he shows his screen full of innocent little girl videos, and acts as if it's the most disgusting thing. Little girls being disgusting. I don't get it. I never read the comments, but I never imagined pedophiles looking at these videos at all, because, I expected them to be looking at actually sexual stuff, or whatever. So there's this video of a cute little girl showing how she decorated her room and it has millions of views, am I supposed to believe that there were millions of people on there seeing sexual content where there was none? The saddest part of all this was all the comments on the video, agreeing with the guy that "this was awful", calling perfectly fine videos of little girl "softcore porn". If they see an innocent video of a little girl eating ice cream and weird thoughts cross their mind, it's their problem.
