I see what your saying; and in truth there is a good point in there.

I dont think that is the case necessarily. It's more a careful choice I think.

> "Child porn" has outgrown all reasonable legal bounds and i now used as a general person justification for doing basically anything.

On this we are in agreement. I actually just contributed to a book about the new French web monitoring/filtering laws which are being "legitimized" using child porn as an excuse. We argue that really it has no effect on the "business" of CP and basically it is just political posturing (Ill provide a link if your interested).
