So you want to hurt the people you dislike, and (presumably) help the people you like. That's fine, but please understand that some of us believe it's worth having principles. We think it's better for society and humanity if people think above the dislike=hurt/like=help dichotomy.

  > So you want to hurt the people you dislike, and (presumably) help the people you like. Yes I dislike those who profit from CSAM and revenge porn, "it's just an app" doesn't change the horror of their actions. It's kind of a lowbar when it comes to principles, don't you think? Do you care about the people they hurt in their very flesh? The people who killed themselves as the result of sex exploitation? > We think it's better for society and humanity if people think above the dislike=hurt/like=help dichotomy. Both revenge born and CSAM are illegal, there is no dichotomy here.
