Comment on Locking the Web Open: A Call for a Distributed Webparent

I don't know. I don't want to fully stop pedophiles, as I know that allows for draconian measures which hurt everyone. I know it will happen - always has, always will - but I don't want to automatically make it easier for peds. At least now they have to try hard to be safe, therefore (and I may be completely wrong here) the borderline wannabe pedophile won't go fully fledged, because there would be hurdles. And at the same time I realise that this thinking me that's normal peeps who just want some modicum of privacy also have to jump through hoops, which is why this whole thing is a problem for me.

Also, I think the whole drm analogy doesn't work in this case, though I do see where your coming from.

With my problem, the equivalent would be if adding drm made it automatically easier and safer for pirates, not just crippling legit users...
