Having the wrong opinion about certain topics is getting more expensive

This is an excellent point. More and more, there is no middle ground in consequences. Nothing like a suspension? or leave of absence etc. I don't recall how things used to be but I really lament the lack of some sort of gradient scale for punishment.

Not only that, now we obviously have reliable sources to turn to to get the right opinion about stuff. O brave new world.

I'm afraid I've lost the metaphor, what's the "right opinion" about pedophilia?

Then you should be way more careful, sir. Lost metaphors are seldom returned, in these uncivilized times.

That "pedophilia" means the same thing as "child molestation" whih means the same thing as "child rape" which is obviously bad.
