    Mainly it’s a problem of enabling the problem as others have mentioned.

    It’s not a solution, per se. It doesn’t solve something specifically- but it doesn’t have to be. It’s about making it less accessible, harsher consequences, and so on to put more pressure on not continuing to participate in the activity. Ultimately it boils down to mental health and trauma. Pedophilia is a paraphilic disorder at the end of the day.

      We don’t disagree. But this argument is different from the OP from what you stated earlier. Your current argument is “these images are horrible. Let’s wipe them out of the face of Earth because they’re wrong.”

      But OP (Edit: oops, OP is you!) originally said “not having access to these images will help people ‘cure’ their paraphilia.” I don’t think that has any scientific basis, though I’ll be happy to stand corrected.

      Edit: clarification.

        I am the original commentator, unless you’re referring to the poster who just posted a quote and the link to the article

        I’m not sure where you’re drawing these argument conclusions from and it’s bordering on muddying the water.

          Sorry, yes, I was referring to what you originally said (I thought it was another commenter.)

          Well, the same thing I can say about your argument conclusions and the same “muddying the water” opinion.

          Your stance is “banning this X type of content will help cure Y,” and I’d like to see the science backing this up. That is all. I’m not defending pedophilia if that’s what you’re implying with “muddying the waters.” It’s just that I’m all for evidence, even if the evidence makes us (yes, me included) uncomfortable.

            I’ve literally just said what I meant and you’re ignoring it. I explicitly said that it’s about making it harder to participate the behavior. I even said it’s not a cure.

          I know the difference.

          I’ve used “OP” to refer to a parent poster (or commenter) for decades, on Slashdot, Digg, Reddit and now here. I won’t change it unless there’s a major shift in the community.
