There's little... no, actually, there's nothing we can do to convince the general public, AKA the sheeple, that this is a personal freedom issue that affects even them. They will continue to sleepwalk until all their freedoms are gone, because the gubmint will tell them that they are protecting children and that anyone who objects is probably guilty of dastardly deeds themselves.
This is just a wake-up call to all complacent mongers who have become accustomed to casually discussing illegal activities on sites with virtually no guarantee of privacy or anonymity, after years of getting away with it, thanks to LE's slow adaption to technology. As many have said, the hobby will never die, because it's dictated by human nature. Every move by the cat (them) is met with another by the mouse (us), and so it goes. Like pushing mercury around. It ain't going away, it's just going somewhere else. Well, fellas, we're the mercury, and it's time to start packing.
