Read the outrage: is it finally spilling over?

Just read the outrage from these comments due to Andrew Cuomo's internet censorship crusade, a lot these people know it's all bullshit, like from this comment here:

Speaking personally, I am so fed up with the censorship, fear and repression taking place in our society in the name of fighting child pornography; that I would personally prefer to see an internet half full of child pornography before I see any more rollbacks of freedom along the lines this "Agreement".

The child porn excuse has long since lost its ability to outrage me into accepting even quite minor restrictions on liberties. Unfortunately, the general public seems so eager to become apoplectic that media outlets have essentially created an industry around giving people their daily outrage "fix". It's like Soma [wikipedia.org], except instead of making them happy all the time, they just get angry/outraged.

Don't you love it? Are people finally waking up to the truth? Here's another excellent comment:

Attacking distribution instead of production shows that the protection of children comes second to the punishing of the pedophile. While protecting the actual children being abused would seem to be a higher moral priority, it isn't as media savvy/lucrative as simply chasing the pedophiles. Look at things like "To Catch a Predator" or the FBI's fake hyperlinks. Did they save a single child? No there was never any actual child danger.

And where is this magical child porn that has caused the demise of the usenet groups? Most people, who visit usenet groups often, are wondering why they've never seen it.

One person comments: I've been reading usenet for 15 years, I've never seen any child porn. Do I just not frequent the right groups?

And another one response: I've been on Usenet for well over a decade, and I also have never seen child porn.

Some may say it's because the CP is so deep underground that somehow only pedophiles and cops and attorney generals are ever able to gain access, it could be just as likely that the whole thing is a fabrication. What do you think?

If people don't wake up and learn to come to terms with our humanity, this type of overblown hysteria will continue to errode each and every one of their liberties. Can't say I'll feel too sorry for them if that happens. Will you?
