What’s with the obsession with CP? I agree that it’s morally wrong and should be penalized but why is it perceived as the Ultimate Crime? Why is this tool supposedly for detecting CP only and not stolen bikes for sale, bullying through SMS, etc which are also criminal offenses?

You can ask the same question about self-driving cars.
Self-driving cars substitute for human-driven cars, which currently kill over a million people a year. If the first mass-adopted self-driving cars have half the fatality rate per mile of human-driven cars, then slowing their rollout by a day causes 1,800 deaths. Current prototype self-driving vehicles already have a lower fatality rate per mile than human-driven vehicles. Obviously this isn't an apples-to-apples comp…
It is much more worse, current so called self driving cars have human drivers that intervene most of the time and saved the idiot AI from crashes but Elon will not count this near crash as an actual crash.
>but if the goal is to minimize deaths, then we should be more gung-ho about this technology than we currently are.
We should maybe try to maybe to also do the obvious quick fixes at the same time?
it would be much cheaper instead of forcing AI cars on people to force say a drunk/tired/talking on the phone detector , enforce better driving tests before giving licenses to drivers, put a tax for vehicle mass toe promote less heavy cars, enforce speed limits with tech. Do you think Bob will prefer to be forced to buy an expensive self driving car to reduce the car crashes stats or better to buy a safety device(black box) that he must install in the car.

CP is fairly easy to recognize if you see it I'd imagine. I'm sure there are some instances where an adult just looks very young, but there is probably a lot of CP out there with no potential for that. How exactly does one recognize a bike as stolen from a photograph?

You recognize bikes, and compare it to a database of known stolen bikes.

Because children are trafficked and abused to create it SMH...

> why is it perceived as the Ultimate Crime? Because you can apparently justify any move, no matter how authoritarian, by saying "think of the kids"! It's politicians and governments exploitating psychology to get away with problematic crap. It's not the ultimate crime, it's the ultimate justification.

Or in this situation more like: It is better that ten children get sexually abused than one innocent person comes under suspicion /s
This isn't combatting abuse because producing CSAM != consuming CSAM. It's far better that 10 people beat off to children than have one innocent person come under suspicion.
You'd rather 10 children be victimised than 1 person falls under suspicion? Ok...

I'm fine with child (prepubescent) rapists whom are adults to be sentenced to death. If you were an accomplice to that, as a videographer or similar, I'm also OK with death. (There's a really weird social area from 13-18, with the weirdness and illegality going away up at 18. Stuff in this realm, especially around 2 similar ages, gets very stupid. This is where you can get 2 16yo's sexting and being charged with CSAM…
The reliability of the criminal justice system, particularly in the US, is abhorrent. There's a long history of false convictions, particularly affecting people in minority outgroups and mentally disabled; we've executed adults who were so mentally incapacitated they were below a 10 year old in terms of mental capacity. The death penalty is highly immoral.
There are tens of thousands of black men still in jail because they were basically the most convenient way for a police department to "solve" the murder or rape of a white woman and help their case clearance rates. Police, prosecutors, and forensic "experts" were complicit. "Hair analysis" is just one example of the pseudo-science nonsense.
In Boston, a forensic chemist falsified thousands of test results and somehow this escaped notice despite her having a productivity level that was far and above virtually any other forensic chemist.
Or, if you're not exceedingly gullible: her supervisors obviously knew what she was doing and didn't care, because she made their lab look great and prosecutors got lots of open-and-shut cases.
