I absolutely abhor CP and don't support legalizing it. I'll leave it at that.

Someone in another thread said all child porn is basically DOCUMENTED CHILD RAPE. It is absolutely not a victimless crime. It is not to be equated with doing drugs. That rectal burp of a human should be SMEARED ACROSS THE PAVEMENT.

You absolutely cannot compare the two though - the purchase of CP promotes the trafficking, abuse and death of innocent children

I don't think he was discussing the purchase of CP. Just downloading existing CP.
Also perhaps he didn't clearly express his thoughts. It was an argument on Twitter. Less space, less context.
I see no reason to doubt his word that he is not for legalizing CP which is the bigger point.

People wouldn't need Ethereum if CP were legal.
