> Your claims of things that don't happen are, unfortunately, false. Law enforcement agents whose jobs involve ever looking at CSAM basically cannot stand the mental toll of the job for any significant amount of time. Unthinkably horrible things happen to children to create these images. literally just propaganda and i have no doubt that this is a massive exaggeration. >The idea that we would legalize it is not on the table, and suggesting such a thing is a great way to immediately lose support from everyone in the world. cool, and i was going to open my first post with "CP being contraband is out of the question and never should have became a thing". > I don't think that analogy is hitting the way you're intending. Yes, we'd all love a "freedom-respecting solution to the murder problem". In fact convicted murderers still have some rights and freedoms, and balancing those against preventing murder and rehabilitating murderers is another difficult problem. Cutting off legs hasn't been seen as a reasonable punishment for a crime since the Bronze Age, so I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. i don't know what i didn't make clear. i said that i don't want a law to cut off everyone's legs at birth with a casus beli like "terrible people are going around murdering people with their bare hands now that we all live in a cage and if you don't want to get rid of legs you are part of the problem". the analogy is in fact absolutely perfect even better than i intended, since you know whoever argued this is hugely exaggerating. and then we have the other guy i'm replying to who can't even write a coherent response (for instance calculating 30K instead of 300, and then ignoring the fact that most of those people will not actually do anything) because he's too angry from his inner sheep being offended because someone dared question is terrible law which is basically just racket where they can use fabricated and overblown cases instead of having to perpetrate the crimes themselves (although the FBI is also known for serving CP themselves, which contradicts a huge amount of the "CP should be illegal" arguments, such as "seeing it makes more pedos")
