Its just weird because I never ever see child porn or pedophiles or anything like that, yet certain people seem to always know where that kind of stuff is to be found.Scientific American, the Atlantic, and Nature aren't pro-Trump publications but you are free to do your own searches. No one believes the sciences don't have a problem in that direction. Right, left, center, this year, last year, last decade, you'll find source after source reiterating that issue. If you care to look you'll also see that educators, a profession to which most of these scientists belong, have a molestation problem. Far more kids are molested by educators each year than by priests, and it isn't close.
The biggest difference between Mastodon and Twitter is that Mastodon is decentralized with no single entity having control over all the hosting servers. The fundamental architecture of Mastodon makes it impossible to remove child pornography which is why it flourishes there. By contrast, Twitter has control over the hosting servers and has the ability to police content. Twitter did have a child pornography problem and it wasn't because they lacked the technical ability to adequately police it but rather the team at Twitter responsible for implementing a solution made decisions that failed to curtail that traffic adequately. Maybe it was incompetence and maybe it was motivated. You'd have to ask Yoel Roth. Thankfully Elon Musk fired Yoel and that entire team.
Personally I don't see why wanting to protect kids is a political issue. I don't see why objecting to the sexual exploitation of children is all that is required to label me a Trumper but these are strange times I guess.
