I don't think society can function without harsh penalties for child abuse, and I think thats a widely held belief everyone agrees with.

I do think your comment is conflicting though. The fuzziness of 'is this abuse' is real because collisions can occur, mass surveillance never goes in reverse, etc.

Huh, I specifically said "concerns about collisions" is a real concern. I said that "mass surveillance" is a real concern.

What is not a real concern is fuzziness in the question "is this image of child abuse". And I really don't want to continue a discussion where you try to come up with gray areas. A computer may not be able to tell the difference, but humans can.

Doesn't seem to be working very well from here; risk of penalty isn't going to stop most of these people, more likely make their game even more exciting.

Of course they have to be prevented from hurting people, to the best of our ability to do so, but punishment isn't going anywhere.
