Online Kid Porn A Tricky Problem
from the nuclear-bombs-for-swatting-flies dept
Lauren Weinstein's latest column talks about how child porn laws make it so that even someone who accidentally views a single child porn picture becomes an instant criminal. Clearly, the article points out, producers and distributors of child porn deserve to be punished to the fullest extent possible.
