	Modern online censorship is now the norm for topics far less controversial than attraction to minors. Most of us have heard the well-publicised examples of Americans losing their jobs for supporting right-of-center political causes, and Australians being visited in their own homes after sharing anti-vaccine memes on Facebook. Therefore, it is unsurprising that simply questioning the [[trauma myth]] or [[Child Sexual Abuse]] orthodoxy is likely to result in permanent blocks from social media sites or [[Wikipedia censorship of MAP related topics\|Wikipedia]] for example.

			* It has been argued that stock photo repositories exclude images of 11-15 year old pubescent youths, opting for small children or young adults either side of this age range. While this claim needs investigating with detailed statistical analysis, excluding youth who are not mature, yet also not immature would appear to simplify matters for customers who rely on the marketing of "children" and "teen/young adult" as categories.

However, due to the size of the website, some have been allowed to prosper.

Most of us have heard the well-publicised examples of Americans losing their jobs for supporting right-of-center political causes, and Australians being visited in their own homes after sharing anti-vaccine memes on Facebook. Therefore, it is unsurprising that simply questioning the [[trauma myth]] or [[Child Sexual Abuse]] orthodoxy is likely to result in permanent blocks from social media sites or [[Wikipedia censorship of MAP related topics\|Wikipedia]] for example. In one well-publicized example, [[Wikipedia:Tom Flanagan#Child_pornography\|Tom Flanagan]], a Canadian political strategist and academic was effectively erased from public life after suggesting (when deliberately provoked) that simple accessing of [[Child Pornography]] should not be punishable with prison time.<ref>[https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/uproar-over-child-porn-comments-made-by-former-wildrose-campaign-manager-1.1175938 Uproar over child porn comments made by former Wildrose campaign manager] and [https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.441072 Flanagan's child porn comments], [https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.441024 Power Panel on Flanagan]</ref><ref>See videos from CBC and others at the time [https://fstube.net/w/6rBJyn1a4AE8D87xrWEAp3] and compare to [https://fstube.net/w/arywNiK1SDzAwXav2CUkbU] and [https://fstube.net/w/x16iuZxtPQ89b9H5ZYzpST] post-controversy.</ref>

	Major governments have attempted to censor legal sites via blocking; see [[Special Article: Adverse effects of hysteria#Censorship\|Trojan Horse Censorship]], but most censorship is effectively outsourced to the private sector. [[Child Pornography]] details some of these infringements upon civil liberties.

	* It has been argued that stock photo repositories exclude images of 11-15 year old pubescent youths, opting for small children or young adults either side of this age range. While this claim needs investigating with detailed statistical analysis, excluding youth who are not mature, yet also not immature would appear to simplify matters for customers who rely on the marketing of "children" and "teen/young adult" as categories.		* It has been argued that stock photo repositories exclude images of 11-15 year old pubescent youths, opting for small children or young adults either side of this age range.

	* YouTube is now firmly embedded in its policy of removing politically controversial content regarding [[minor-adult sex]] and [[pedophilia]], either by per-video censorship or complete removal of accounts. However, due to the size of the website, some have been allowed to prosper. Similar actions have been taken against [[Vigilantism\|self-styled vigilantes]] who make death threats towards pedophiles, incite others to action or threaten and harass minors who appear to support those who they see as pedophiles.		* YouTube (headquartered in [[California]]) is now firmly embedded in its policy of removing politically controversial content regarding [[minor-adult sex]] and [[pedophilia]], either by per-video censorship or complete removal of accounts.
