Journalist centered articles far too often have a bad habit of that sort of selfish attitude of thinking protections should be limited to them by some sort of credential and not a "universal press" despite the obvious backfire potential involved with it - or their sources for that matter.

Hell even the article is lukewarm criticism instead of speaking truth to power and saying that it is bullshit and so is the purported goal. If you want to stop child molesters you stop the molestors first as opposed to the byproducts. And even though the byproducts do their own damage cracking down on the bulletin boards is completely removed from being helpful.
