So he’s saying CSAM is free/protected speech? Got it.
Dude had absolutely no reason to out himself as a paedophile, but that seems to be exactly what he’s done. And for what? Epic is in legal battles to get onto other companies’ platforms (Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS) without paying the fees outlined in the terms and conditions every other developer had to agree to. I’m not saying he’s 100% wrong in that opinion, but outing himself as a paedophile by stating CSAM is protected speech only hurts his argument in the other case, because he’s saying he could put CSAM on his own platform (i.e. Fortnite, a game aimed at children and teenagers) and he’d be against you censoring his “free” and “protected” speech.
I just see no good outcomes for what Sweeney is fighting for here.
To address the political opponents angle, no one was calling for a Twitter/X ban before the CSAM problem, even when our political opponents were up there (i.e. before and after Trump was banned and un-banned).
