... and unencumbered access to CP and the dark web. Yup I bet they understand everything.

I bet they have the same understanding that roads can be used to kill people and transport illegal goods. It might be scary that people could at any whim kill pedestrians by unencumbered turning the wheel and pressing down the pedal, but is that knowledge worth forbidding cars and inhibiting free movement?

From TFA:

> “With any freedom there is risk,” library board Chairman Francis Oscadal said. “It came to me that I could vote in favor of the good ... or I could vote against the bad. “I’d rather vote for the good because there is value to this.”

This is the debate. How much liberty are you willing to give up to catch a few bad apples?

We could end child abuse in this country (indoors anyway) if we just require 24/7 monitoring of every room in every building.

CP is still illegal. Anyway this is a "relay node" so they don't know the source, content, or destination of any of the traffic that goes through the node.

CP will only be remotely a good excuse to not do something once we have made spanking children illegal and punishable as assault. It's unbelievable the assault laws discriminate by age and don't protect the weakest. Spanking occurs MUCH more often than CP (there's no comparison) and the damages are enormous and long-lasting (including a lower IQ). So if you care about kids, help spread the word and hopefully more people will come to their senses and understand that assault should not be legal just because the victim is underage.
