Tim Sweeney is defending the production of CSAM.
Tim Sweeney is the CEO of Epic Games, the publisher of Fortnite.
Fortnite is a game targeted at children.
If the CEO of a game targeted at children is defending the production of CSAM, I have some -very- specific questions about his motivations in doing so.
@munin wasn't there some ... ahem ... agitation around some files named after a guy with an island where kids... yeah, something like that.
Guess we just found another name in that file.
@munin we are ruled by child abusers
One of those specific questions is "why do you consider providing the means to abuse children to be a valid political issue"
Generally we do not expect foxes to be honest custodians of henhouses; this is, in fact, proverbially what's considered to be a "bad idea."
@munin this feels like something that gets brought up in an investigation a few years from now along with the words "the signs were there."
@munin I'm beginning to think maybe the pursuit of money doesn't select for optimum morality. It's like this whole fucking system is fundamentally flawed, somehow.
@munin I guess when exploitation of children for profit is your hammer, everything looks like a nail. (and that's the charitable interpretation)
I see no reason to be charitable to the motivations of a man overtly defending CSAM while running a service that is intended to attract children.
