Yeah. I’m not justifying people defending Mengele or Unit 731, but there’s at least enough there that you can at least understand why people came to this conclusion. Plus, westerners pardoned Unit 731 and similar German scientists for the exact reason of “let’s get the data”. While they found out the data wasn’t useful, the west also had to stick by their decisions to not seem absolutely insane. There has been a propaganda push, along with the west’s poorly developed utilitarian view, that makes defending Unit 731 understandable. Defending Unit 731 really isn’t that much of a jump from defending capitalists putting workers in many of the same horrific deaths through workplace austerity. If it’s okay to cook people to death because you wanted to make a few bucks, what’s the issue with freezing someone to death? Not okay mind you, but I can clearly see the route the brainworms took.

This though? Like what do people expect? There is no good reason to not want AI on CP enforcement. Just because “there’s a database of CP”? What do people want LE to do with evidence of abuse? I WISH the videos of my abuse were in some Fed’s database. Instead my abuser walked off and now I just get the occasional creepy message talking about how hot my abuse was. Tracking pedophiles is pretty much the only consistently good thing the feds do. Why are people criticizing THIS of all things? There are no grounds to make this a real moral debate
