It's probably there just because it was one of the many files preinstalled on one of Epstein's computers that the FBI nabbed. Still funny.

Frankly, it sounds like neither of the two should lead the FSF

Why so? Stallman knows to keep up the values of FSF very well. And imo the comments he made was not pedophilic he only said he was skeptical of how it's bad or not, which just shows lack of knowledge in that matter and not knowing perespectives of victims

He has made a large number of questionable comments, including the argument that the solution to human trafficking includes legalizing child prostitution:

27 April 2015 (Human Trafficking Act)

The Senate's Victims of Human Trafficking Act is dangerous in several ways.

When it talks about having the customs agency do more to enforce "intellectual property", I am sure that refers to something bad. Whenever that term is used, something nasty is afoot.

The way to protect children from being forced into prostitution is to legalize prostitution by licensed prostitutes. Customers could be required to check the prostitute's license. If the customer fails to check, that concrete omission would be legitimate grounds for punishment.

Minors should not be denied prostitution licenses in a blanket way, but the state should ask them why they want one and probe their situation, then offer help so they can avoid prostitution.

Well yeah whenever he talks outside his scope it turns out terrible. And afaik he apologised for comments like this later on. But theese doesn't suggest me he is pedophilic of any kind. In all of theese i guess he is assuming minors can take mature decisions
