When you go to "kiddie porn" to try to win an argument about community censorship, I think you should automatically lose, a new version of Godwin's law. Seriously, it is like listening to the US Congress talked about CISPA (to protect from child porn and terrorists), it is a pathetic ploy... but I will play along. You always have a right to be offended, but I have a right to not give a crap. Vote with your wallet (don't go to conference), vote with your feet (don't go to that talk), but don't try to get material banned from everyone because it offends YOU, let me decide for myself... I have the same options you do, to not go to the conference, to not go to the talk. I will even lean into your example. Obviously, having or distributing child porn is a felony, so it is assumed the talk author wouldn't really bring any (if (s)he did, just call police, they go to jail)... so maybe his talk would be about how to hide your identity online... maybe how to hide it from oppressive governments? Maybe how to use the TOR network? Maybe how to safely help women get online and protest in countries where they aren't allowed to go outside alone? Maybe the title was intended to drum up some media attention and get a packed hall for a talk about people being stalked online, and how to be invisible.
