#3So the headline uses the word "pedophiles", but in the article the word is nowhere to be found. Maybe that's because this sting isn't necessarily about pedophiles, but about people watching and trading child pornography. Using "pedophiles" only serves to reinforce the stigma of a already heavily stigmatized minority.
The word "pedophile" should be defined as someone with a sexual attraction towards children. It doesn't describe behavior: people can choose to not act on the attraction, and many, invisible as they are, in fact do not. Also, the people operating and visiting that hidden service could have had other reasons for visiting. They are not necessarily all pedophiles.

#4I am more concerned that there is no limits to what they can do in regards to a honeypot (trap/etc). You would think child porn would be one thing they would not go this far with.
Regardless, I think someone with expertise should be allowed to review any code developed by the government in such operations only to ensure it does not somehow violate the rights of innocents

The accused is conveniently dead in this case. In the next case, a defendant's lawyer would surely want to inspect the instruments used to gather evidence.

I don't believe there is a specific term for someone who watches child pornography. Is there even a term for someone who watches legal consensual adult pornography?

The code being released wouldn't matter, because it can't be installed anywhere without Apple signing it. Presumably the keys wouldn't need to be released in any such order.
