I'm trying to figure out what the hell is going on inside your head. Child predators that get released from prison can and do have restrictions on employment placed on them. They're not allowed to work with kids. Are you unaware of that or something? Do you actually oppose that? I can't figure out your angle here, but you're distressing me.

I came up with a valid solution to a real world problem. Denial just continues such problems. That is where my head is. Pragmatic viable solutions. I oppose doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Today they are most certainly allowed to work in places that have children, just not places that specifically meant for children such as schools. The moderation room at microsoft does not have children.

I never said to roll back existing restrictions. I feel that I am being projected on. Perhaps this topic is too emotionally charged for HN.

No, you absolutely did not. The real solution, which has already been arrived upon, is to legally forbid pedophile felons from working with or around kids. Rolling that back is not 'pragmatic', it's fucking moronic. Feeding their fantasies by paying them to look at pornography is the worst idea I've heard in a LONG time. You are seriously creeping me out.

That doesn't stop them, especially if they have not been convinced of a crime. Instead giving them the option to get paid to look at said images will make a lot of potential criminals get a job away from any children - plus they won't be getting PTSD from looking at them, unlike non-pedophile operators.

Mind if I ask why? It's not like most of them are not already looking at CP.
