Thread:Project:Support desk/Pedofile is starting a mediawiki website/reply (4)

To make sure the poster doesn't feel ignored, people do care of course. I think most people would agree that child abuse and terrorism are bad.

The point is however that in this context MediaWiki is just a free tool. Just like the car they drive or the paper they write on. Anyone can buy it and use it to express themselves. The authors of these tools can't or don't want to judge its users. That's up to the government and court.

If someone is doing something illegal, they should be held accountable by law, not by the car manufacturer or MediaWiki software in this case. I don't think we can stop them from saying they are driving a certain brand car or using MediaWiki for their website.
