Ah, “for the children”. The best argument there is to deprive you of all the rights possible.



Really? We want to protect the rights of pedophiles? Where could this argument be going.


Slippery slope fallacy. How many people are pedophiles? How many people who aren't will need to give up their rights so that that minority... actually just keeps on doing what they do, because there's always alternatives?


We should forbidden streets. Full of pedophiles!


Isn't the issue, this place makes no effort to protect children? More like, a public park next to a sex offender halfway house. Keep your children away from that place.


Right, because everyone on the internet, and who ever possibly enjoyed Omegle is either a sex abused child, or the pedophile who preyed upon them.

I had forgot, this is 2023 where there's never a middle ground in any discourse, regardless of topic. Thanks for the reminder.


I also want pedophiles to have access to clean drinking water if it's access to clean drinking water for everyone.


We want to protect the rights of every single human being without a single exception.


Nobody but you is suggesting we protect the rights of pedophiles. This argument is going where it always goes ... as the author pointed out. There are bad people in the world. They make up a small percentage of the population. You don't change society as a whole based on the behavior of these bad people. You do what is reasonable and within your ability. Did you even read article? By your logic would you allow the Catholic church to exist? They were literally protecting pedophiles for years.
