Just a heads up that this guy's legit. My Contracts professor used one of Viva Frei's vids when we were getting into unconscionable contract terms. This video to be exact

Good point about the editing and tik-tok.
It would be an interesting trial if they get to bring the lost footage to court, though the main thing I don't want to hear from it is hyperbole, and that's likely to be what gets reported back, namely because there's headlines and political advantage to be gained there.
That aside, are right wingers anti-CP, or are they pro-social media? While I tend to lean to the right, I also lean away from social media/networking, and it seems like right-wingers are working to take over social outlets. So, that's where my minds really at.
Next on my mind, although it's more important, is about a recent statistic that came to my attention. The suicide rate for American girls between 10 to 14 is up 150%, and if you watch this video (16 mins in if link doesn't take you there) then you can see it's theorized to be associated with social media, or just the internet. I might assume the speaker in the video is somewhere on the left, bringing us back to here.
Is who's attempting to take control of internet services dictating the direction of events here? It doesn't just smell like it; it's looking like it.
I mean, I appreciate the left being chased away and all, because they're a fucking rainbow of sociopaths, but I remember the early 2000s pretty well. I'm not trying to go back to those days, either.
I know I probably prefer the right over all, I just don't know by how much is all I'm saying.
So, conclusion/question is: why is this video now political? The next question after that is the one I started with close to the top. If this went to court I'd love to see someone get burned, and I don't care who, because I hate this fucking topic.

Quote from the transcript :
so you can assess or disregard this vlog entirely i have not seen the entire movie i am not going to watch the entire movie i have seen enough clips and read enough of the reviews to put everything into context
Ok. Sounds like an informed opinion!
The summary of his view is that while he finds it morally repugnant, he also doesn't seem to think it's likely that it is actually criminal, because it probably doesn't cross the legal line to be cp.

Pretty much, though with the specific caveat that the more he hears, the more he veers away from being sure there's no case to answer.

That is fine for forming a moral judgement of the movie, contrary to reddit's (eta: actually, in fairness, most discussions I've seen on reddit have the vast majority against it) twitter's opinion. It is not fine for opining on the legality and thus makes the video utterly worthless.

Stumbled across this earlier, and given the amount of attention the story is pulling in even here during our lockdown, I figured sharing a vaguely reputable lawyer's take on the subject was a pretty good idea.
Always nice to get an even slightly expert read on these matters, sometimes.
