what's a lot worse than pictures of children being abused is children actually being abused, for example right now in gaza

a photo of this child being abused was published in the new york times https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phan_Thi_Kim_Phuc and that photo is generally credited with significantly shortening the war that caused that abuse

many serial killers and other abusers have been caught, convicted, and sentenced because the recordings they made of their misdeeds were preserved

and that is the general pattern. censorship of evidence of abuse perpetuates the abuse and protects the abusers more than the victims

see, it's much easier to have a rational discussion when you spell out your position instead of relying on winks and nudges
