Biden Wants To Protect Virtual P*do Content

The Biden administration along with the European Union and other Western nations are advocating for the decriminalization of specific forms of teenage and virtual child sexual exploitation materials in a proposed cybercrime treaty.

This new treaty seeks to replace a pre-existing international standards that consist of strict guidelines with a more flexible one that varies by country.

Western countries are arguing this flexibility is needed in order to protect teenagers’ “sexual autonomy” and the privacy of individuals who produce or consume certain types of virtual child sexual exploitation.

If an example was ever needed to put on display a sick and twisted justification for pro-pedophilia smut, this would be it.

During recent negotiations at the United Nations, over thirty traditional (or more conservative) leaning countries opposed the draft treaty, and thank God they did!

These nations raised concerns that allowing any form of child sexual exploitation could jeopardize child protection efforts.

The draft treaty stipulates that while not all forms of teenage or virtual child sexual exploitation would become legal, virtual child sexual exploitation could be legalized in some countries if it involves neither a real child nor actual sexual abuse.

Additionally, it allows for potential legalization of teenage sexualized material if the depicted individuals are above the age of consent and the material is shared privately.

Egypt, representing seventeen Arab countries, criticized the draft treaty, arguing it undermines the rights of children and contradicts the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The delegate emphasized that individuals, regardless of age, should not be allowed to consent to the dissemination of intimate images that constitute sexual abuse or exploitation. Egypt also asserted that states should retain the right to criminalize all forms of pornography (or sexual abuse materials) to uphold public morals.

Australia suggested that sharing intimate images between minors should be addressed as a privacy issue rather than a criminal matter, a view supported by the European Union.

In contrast, Austria defended the treaty’s provisions as essential for law enforcement, medical, and artistic purposes.

The Russian Federation questioned the validity of using sexually explicit images of children for such purposes.

A representative from the Holy See stated:

“We think that this really allows for the production of simulated and artificially generated images.”

The draft treaty faced opposition from seventeen Arab countries: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, the UAE, Yemen, and Syria.

Pakistan, Indonesia, Paraguay, Nicaragua, and several African nations, including Nigeria, Cameroon, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali, Côte d’Ivoire, Zimbabwe, Benin, and Chad, also voiced objections.

Thank you for your support.
