Twitter’s policy toward ‘pedophiles’ is key in crime prevention
Here is another article from Earl Yarington, who has been writing a lot on this topic.
The letter supporting a Twitter policy toward those attracted to prepubescent and pubescent kids was about two years in the making notes, Dr. James Cantor, a world-renowned scientist, and psychologist on pedophilia and sex offending.
Recently, there has been some confusion and mischaracterization about Cantor’s role in the letter to Twitter asking Twitter brass to allow pedophiles and hebephiles a space to be active on the platform. Such a request has nothing to do with allowing child abuse; rather, it has a lot to do with reducing it.
According to Cantor, experts in the prevention of child abuse know that desperation causes crime. In fact, such is true across the board involving criminal activity. Driving those attracted away and isolating them can do the opposite of what prevention experts and those in law enforcement really want.
Cantor explained that the most pressing problem in getting pedophiles* the help and resources they need is the conflation of pedophilia with sex offending and the “fearmongering” that comes with it. Recently, I wrote a piece criticizing the New York Times for its conflation of pedophilia with sex offending, as well as getting several facts wrong. CNN also regularly conflates the two. Cantor refers to his own research, “Pedophilia is an innate, unchangeable, interest pattern. They cannot change it. The Twitter policy can do no harm.”

Mmm, I thought there was a minimum age limit for twitter. Being it has loads of semi nude and nude images, wouldn’t that make it necessary to exclude anyone under 18? If so, what’s all the stink about in the first place?
Great article. As always thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are the communication platforms of the 21century as was the telephone in the 20th.
Imagine Ma bell prohibiting felons from using its platform. It would be unheard of.
Most of what the article said didn’t make much since to me except when he got to the section about the registry being totally worthless. Wish he would have commented on all the people on the registry that are not pedophiles and the collateral damage done there.
Is this the “Caucasian”? If so Something going down Jan 27 wanna join the conversation ?
