I’m an American. I hold dear my right to give a shit about things that’re none of my business.

It’s they’re network. I can’t stop them. but I can complain.

Okay, but why should they continue to serve up content that depicts and that they reasonably know to have been created via the sexual exploitation of children?

I’m sorry but objectively your “freedom” to access the entirety of the information contained on the internet isn’t a very compelling reason. In this context your freedom is just hypothetical, an abstract, although I’m sure it feels subjectively real to you. You want to be able to access all that there is to access even if you never will and there’s no legitimate plausible reason for you to. You’re pitting this abstract notion of your personal freedom against the very concrete suffering of innocents and the harm perpetuated by an underground market that pathologically trades on that suffering.

To put it bluntly, I’m seeing a very immature, me me now perspective articulated with almost none of the complexity and nuance we all know to be the hallmark of actual reality.
