    Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

One out of ten thousand people exposed to violent videos games, slasher movies, splatterpunk lit and the like either try to kill people or successfully pull it off. Somehow we know for sure it's the media itself that has such a powerful influence and the only way to stop it is to ban any media with Saw-level violence or beyond. (Yes, exactly quantifying this is a whole other can of worms, but is beside the point.) Would it be worth the cost to art and freedom to live in a much safer world? Or should we just give up and live in slasher hell, constantly watching our backs and worrying about turning homicidal ourselves? After all, the human will to make violent art may be insuppressable.

Admittedly, I am thinking about this in relation to the concerns for child safety that will always shadow a site like this. And I wonder how various types of pro-lifers would respond to this question...
