Hiring people, who don’t find child porn objectionable, to make decisions on whether reported child porn is objectionable, will have some drawbacks.

Easy enough to test them with moderator uploaded material that only they can see.

The more I think about this, you can have a serialized A->B filter. Filter A is the large group of convicted pedos. They won't likely be as traumatized as the B group. The B group is the existing moderators and will get whatever the A group missed. The A group should minimize the PTSD impact on the B group.

Holy mother of all false dichotomies...

Are there children inside coal mines? There better fucking not be. So throw them into coal mines, and may black lung take them.

I said leader of the free world. They will choose to not work in the coal mine and prefer places with kids. They have served their time so we have to give them options they will choose.

I'm trying to figure out what the hell is going on inside your head. Child predators that get released from prison can and do have restrictions on employment placed on them. They're not allowed to work with kids. Are you unaware of that or something? Do you actually oppose that? I can't figure out your angle here, but you're distressing me.

I came up with a valid solution to a real world problem. Denial just continues such problems. That is where my head is. Pragmatic viable solutions. I oppose doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Today they are most certainly allowed to work in places that have children, just not places that specifically meant for children such as schools. The moderation room at microsoft does not have children.

I never said to roll back existing restrictions. I feel that I am being projected on. Perhaps this topic is too emotionally charged for HN.

> I came up with a valid solution to a real world problem.

No, you absolutely did not. The real solution, which has already been arrived upon, is to legally forbid pedophile felons from working with or around kids. Rolling that back is not 'pragmatic', it's fucking moronic. Feeding their fantasies by paying them to look at pornography is the worst idea I've heard in a LONG time. You are seriously creeping me out.

That doesn't stop them, especially if they have not been convinced of a crime. Instead giving them the option to get paid to look at said images will make a lot of potential criminals get a job away from any children - plus they won't be getting PTSD from looking at them, unlike non-pedophile operators.

Mind if I ask why? It's not like most of them are not already looking at CP.

Funny, I was thinking sociopaths. Most sociopaths aren't criminals, but wouldn't be affected by the material.
