You can tell the argument against cryptography from "but child porn!" is in bad faith because child abuse of this sort is systematically under-investigated, under-prosecuted, and under-sentenced. If they really cared it would be a priority in terms of both investigation and sentencing, but far more is spent chasing drugs and sentences for small-mid size drug offenses are often much longer.
Get caught with a big stash of meth? Go away for 10+ years. Get caught filming child abuse? Get a few years and some psych counseling, if that.

- olliej 5y agoI mean sex abuse in general - Brock turner was literally caught in the act of raping a women and got 3 months :-/
- Eldt 5y agoI guess they think fucking children is less degenerate than smoking weed. Hah.
