The internet as a whole has a child abuse problem and you're not helping solve it by putting on your #TinfoilHat and claiming anyone who quantifies #CSAM on your fave platform is a shill for anti-privacy legislation or funded by surveillance capitalists to discredit the open web

Hiding your head in the sand doesn't make the problem go away, it just guarantees you won't have a say in the solution
