But my point is some censorship is good. Such as child porn. We can disagree on what constitutes child porn in practice but you arent saying nothing should be censored right?
replyYou do think there is such thing as child porn right? And that it should be censored?
Im not claiming more censorship is better. So I agree it could be overapplied. Im saying some censorship is clearly good.
I don’t think it’s inherently obvious that censorship is the right tool for CP.
replyI’d rather track people downloading CP than prevent them from being able to find it and thus not know who was more likely to be a child predator. Of course any negative outcomes without due process is problematic but there’s tradeoffs here.
Now people paying for CP creates an incentive to create CP so that’s definitely worth banning. Similarly there’s a justification for banning ownership of CP on the premise you’re going to catch child predators, but do we then lockup kids looking for people their age?
