The rationale behind the downgrading of the crime to a misdemeanor included consideration for parents and teachers of children who download the content in order to inform law enforcement...

“A downgrade to a misdemeanor is also urgently required in order to be able to respond appropriately and with the necessary flexibility to the large proportion of juvenile offenders...

We have specific exceptions that we don't think should be penalized...so let's just throw everything out instead of writing in those specific exceptions! Genius!

"...Here, too, the perpetrators generally do not act in order to be sexually aroused by the child pornography content, but rather out of a drive typical of the adolescent stage of development, such as naivety, curiosity, thirst for adventure or the desire to impress.”

Where the fuck are these people getting their messaging from?! This one is so artificial and bullshit, yet I see it repeated ad nauseum whenever they try to push this shit. Do any of you know anyone who's ever downloaded CP to be edgy and brag about it to show off?! I've never, ever, ever seen that, yet they want to act like a huge chunk of people in possession of CP just did it for fun, not for the CP. "Desire to impress" my ass. Disingenuous fucks.

However, despite acknowledging such circumstances, the bill has not made certain exceptions, but rather downgrades possession of child pornography altogether – a fact that has not gone unnoticed by pro-pedophile campaigners.

Yup, that's the core of the issue.

parents and teachers of children who download the content in order to inform law enforcement...

This sounds way too much like something they'd all use as a convenient excuse too. "Oh yeah of course I was planning to take these to law enforcement!" Still better as an exception than no rule at all.

We all knew this is where the slippery slope was heading for years now.

Just like the "muh rape and incest" to justify blanket on-demand abortion up to the day of birth. It's entirely possible, and completely routine, to codify moralistic objections into legal exceptions without throwing out laws entirely.

In many jurisdictions possession of Cheese Pizza is a strict liability offence.

So it doesn't matter how you got it, it doesn't matter what your intention was. Do you have Cheese Pizza? Yes? You are guilty.

Depending on the jurisdiction, even having Cheese Pizza in the inbox of your webmail may be included. Think that through.

In some jurisdictions, even having art of Cheese Pizza is enough. You can sit down with a pencil and draw something that will get you thrown in prison.

The only way any of these laws actually work in the real world is through selective enforcement.

I don't personally know any reddit admins, but I distinctly recall hearing of reddit users, using CP to shut down subs that went against the narrative. They definitely seemed proud of this.

That's not downloading CP to be edgy, that's weaponizing CP against your enemies though.
