It's not risk to children reading them, it's promotion of pedophilia that is the problem.

You don't just drive them into dark corners where you pretend they don't exist.

You don't pretend they don't exist, but you don't let them normalize their conduct either. And that is absolutely what is happening with the previous approach.

You don't let them normalize their conduct. You loudly tell them how intolerable they are to society. You watch them at all times and make sure they don't harm anyone.

As someone who was on the receiving end of attention from pedophiles as a child and who has spoken to many of their victims, you do not want these people isolated in their own communities. You want to know exactly who they are.

Letting them speak, which at least where I live is still their right, is NOT tolerance.
