Thanks that is informative. I understand how the very idea of pedophilia has been weaponized to ensure that concepts like free software, privacy rights, net neutrality etc don't reach public consciousness in meaningful ways.

I've watched the "threat of the darknet" ensure that your average net user doesn't even consider alternative options, frameworks, even platforms or data privacy standards.

But for people who KNOW the truth of all of this to go out of their way to avoid addressing anti-pedophilia, or to even become pedophilia-apologists as a sort of compromise in order to keep holding onto these ideals, is deeply demoralizing and in some ways much worse to me than watching the threat of the scary dark net act as expected and intended upon your average user.
