Comment on Child Sexual Abuse Material Persists on Xparent

I get downvoted whenever I bring this up but nobody has a good argument on why it should remain legal.

Well, you probably haven’t asked anyone who knows. The government doesn’t have a compelling interest. Banning it wouldn’t be narrowly targeted.

Can you provide a compelling argument for why it should be illegal?

Anybody has a good argument why it should be illegal?

Arguably the average person needs to be exposed to more gore lest they become dangerously detached from the real world. People who live in sanitized bubbles end up creating systems that kill far more people because they cannot see the results of their actions. China censors all violent crime, it's basically illegal to report on. How do you think that's working out?
